How Much Does a Microcement Table Weigh? Transport, Assembly and Getting It Upstairs

A very “Google” question and a very real-life one:
“But how much does this actually weigh? Are we really going to be able to get it up to a third floor with no lift?”

It makes sense: microcement tables have a strong visual presence and it’s easy to imagine them as solid concrete blocks. In reality, thanks to the way they’re built, the weight is much more reasonable than it looks.

CimentStudio tables are not made by casting a solid block of concrete. Each microcement table is built around an optimised structural core and finished with several layers of high-performance microcement.

That allows us to:

control the overall weight,
reinforce only where it’s really needed,
and adapt the structure and thicknesses to each design.

In practical terms, the final weight is much closer to that of a good solid wood table than to a massive block of concrete.

What Determines the Weight of Your Microcement Table?

Although we don’t give exact figures (because every table is made to measure), we can say what the weight mainly depends on:

The size of the top (length x width).
The apparent thickness of the tabletop (the bolder the visual thickness, the more material involved).
The type of base or legs (solid blocks, frame legs, cylinders, etc.).
Whether the table is entirely in microcement or a microcement and wood table.

During the design phase, it’s very common for our team to advise you. If a client wants a very solid, sculptural look but has complicated access, we can work on the section so that the table looks heavier than it really is.

Since these are made-to-order pieces with a certain volume, the usual approach is:

Deliver the table with specialised transport,
coordinate the installation day to make sure it will fit through doors, stairs or the lift,
and, if necessary, look at alternatives (lifting via the façade, removing legs, etc.).

Many microcement tables are designed so that the top and the base travel separately and are assembled on site using systems that are solid and clean once installed, with no visible screws. This makes access much easier in apartments, penthouses or commercial spaces with tight staircases and narrow corridors.

Can I Move It Around Once It’s in My Home?

It depends on the size, but in many configurations:

two people can shift the table a few centimetres to adjust its position,
or move it within the same room without any problem, always carefully and protecting the floor.

If, in a specific project, the weight is higher (very long tables, very solid bases), you can consider:

using protectors under the legs,
or designing the base with occasional moves in mind.

If you know your home has narrow stairs, tight turns or a small lift, it’s a good idea to mention it during the design phase. That way we can:

size the microcement table with that access in mind,
decide whether it makes sense for the top and base to be separate pieces,
or adjust the design so that the whole journey, from the workshop to your living room, is much simpler.
