Stone is heavy even when the top is thin

Stone brings a kind of silence that wood does not. It also brings visual weight that has nothing to do with whether two people can lift it.

In a small room a stone table wants quieter seats. A bouclé sofa plus marble plus a patterned rug is three kinds of importance.

Check the overhang and the corners in the studio. Stone corners at shin height are a medical fact, not an aesthetic one.

If you want the quiet of stone without the hospital-bill energy, a ceramic or microcement top on a timber base is a relative that lives more easily.
