After years as a design editor, I know that certain building materials are just the cream of the crop. Teak wood furniture is ideal for outdoor settings, and you can’t beat antique mahogany. But when it comes to a polished, elegant look, there’s nothing like Carrara marble. The Italian material is loved for its slightly cloudy look and thin gray grain, but it also comes at a premium price. So when I spotted this Carrara quartz table at Costco, for a fraction of the typical marble price, I had to tell the world. Costco’s Como Carrara Quartz Desk is a beautiful way to bring the C-suite look into your home office.
Carrara is rare to find as a desktop. It’s usually reserved for elegant backsplashes, kitchen countertops, or bathroom sinks. But the Como Desk is the kind that you design a home office around. The 63-inch semi-gloss tabletop sits atop wide, tapered walnut wood legs. It would just as easily work as a banquet table as an executive writing desk.

(This marble has been coveted for centuries, from famed sculptor Michelangelo to HGTV star Jenny Marrs.) It maintains that desirable, polished stone look, while adding a little extra reinforcement.The quartz version is non-porous, so you don’t have to do expensive upkeep or sealing to keep it looking pristine. The surface is scratch-, stain-, and heat-resistant, making it the perfect work-from-home centerpiece. So long hours writing, a coffee stain, or an overheating laptop won’t mess it up. There’s an included shallow drawer to hold any office supplies or important paperwork. And did we mention delivery is included?
At 1,399.99, it’s no small investment, but it's thousands cheaper than a 63-inch slab or real Carrara marble would run you. If the Costco desk is a bit too rich for your blood, I went ahead and rounded up some more affordable Carrara marble options on the market. Choose from an end table to elevate your entryway, or a make-up table for a glamorous bedroom vanity.
