			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Floor medallions can be simply stunning.  Placed in the floor at an entryway or in the middle of a room, the medallion is a beautiful application.  These medallions can be equally as stunning and beautiful when used as table tops.</p>
<p>Medallions come in various shapes such as round, rectangular, and square.  They are made from marble, limestone, granite, and many other types of materials.  It is important to purchase a base appropriate for your top and to securely mount the medallion to the base.</p>
<p>Find the perfect size, design, and material and simply place it on a table base instead of inserting into a flooring application.  Viola!  You have a unique and gorgeous new table.</p>
