「下設屜板，別樹一幟。綠紋石面心，紋若流雲，更顯獨特韻味。」

宋代繪畫中常見家具桌案用石板做面心，特別是大理石。台北國立故宮博物館藏的《十八學士》便見多具相類桌案，但傳世明式家具石板面心桌案實例卻不多。山東出土的朱檀（1370-89）墓內幾具桌案皆飾花石面心，可知石板面桌案在明代應是相當流行的。現例是明代標準案類之一，設計源自典型平頭案。

前加州中國古典家具博物館精品目錄中收錄一設計相似的例子，卻採黃花梨面心，見王世襄、袁荃猷，《明式家具萃珍》，美國中華藝文基金會，芝加哥、洛杉磯，1997年，編號42，頁86-87。另一例子為侶明室藏品，載於伍嘉恩，《永恆的明式家具》，嘉木堂，香港，2006年，頁86-87。
