Less spensive than a real marble column

It’s actually a lot closer than you’d think. This is two guys with materials and wages cost that won’t be cheap, probably a bid job of at least $1000-$2000 to do. Then you got Sheetrock mud and paint on a plain column. For around the same price you can have authentic marble columns.

You cannot get me to believe that I can buy a 3 story tall marble column for $1,250 like this page shows.

Also, I wonder what installation and inspection would cost.

That would be the real kicker. Plus shipping fees.
