He saw the potential in it immediately. After some discussions, he transformed that slab into a breathtaking custom dining room table that has since become the centerpiece of my home. Every dinner guest I've had can't stop talking about it. Romare's craftsmanship is unparalleled. If you're looking for a piece with a story and soul, Vault 14 is the place."
