# How to Make a Slate End Table
Slate is a colorful and durable stone that is available in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and colors. The stone has a somewhat rustic quality and a visual appearance that suggests the stone is made of thin layers sandwiched together. Slate has been used for centuries as a roofing material and as a stone for entryways and gardens. Today it can also be found in modern kitchens, bathrooms and showers. When coated with a sealer, slate often looks wet and very colorful. Make an end table with slate to create a unique furniture piece for your living room.
