	title of this thread your message If you find a Knoll base, it'll have a central threaded stud that expects to screw into a threaded hole in the center of the top. No gluing opportunities there unless you cut the stud off and grind everything smooth. And even then, it's a pretty small-diameter mounting surface with not a lot of surface area for a secure bond. If you find a Burke base, it'll have a plate with four holes around its edge; it expects to be attached to a laminate top (Burke didn't do marble, as far as I know) via screws through those holes. I THINK the plate is flat, so maybe you could glue directly to it... But if it were me, I'd probably fit a round or square wooden plate to the base, then glue that wooden piece to the marble top. The wood would have more surface area than the base's mounting surface, so the adhesive bond would be more secure, plus the wood+marble top would be removable if you ever wanted to move it to another base or pack it for shipping. associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
