I believe the granite base is 25 pounds. When I received mine the shipping weight was marked as 30 pounds…minus approx. 5 pounds the heavy duty box and the protection inside…I put the weight at 25 pounds.
For those considering going the wet stone route, you might be able to twist Tom from Jende Industries to get a marble base with a carved basin for catching the water and slurry that comes along with using the Chosera stones.;) But the cost shipped from Taiwan might be pricey. Still wouldn’t it be neat(in more ways than one) to have a green marble base with the carved out basin. Can people order one Tom?
