I like the mix of materials, I've seen some nice tables in a similar style, they wouldn't suit our old cottage but in the right setting I think they're quite interesting to look at. This is a random picture I just saw, but it gives an idea of what I mean.
I say that 'cause I got reasonable experience in people asking for various bits of BS Carbon Fibre for this that and the other, CFRP is of course nothing more than cast/moulded resin with carbon fibres in it. It's just not very tough in this context! It's plastic after all, so it scratches really easy and is generally quite soft. Also has a tendency to go a bit yellow over time.
I wouldn't expect a big ol' lump of poured resin like that ^ to still look fresh after a few years in use as a table.
Ornaments though, yeah sure. They sit on the shelf out of the way.

A couple of coats of Nano N3 should help (other ceramic coatings are available)
If it gets tatty just slide into one of those big 'ol machines they use and skim and polish it again. (Though I also doubt whether the resin will stay clear and the same colour). The river/ocean tables seen popular as boardroom tables for 'funky' businesses.
That lamp up there ^^^ is OK but it's the divers that make it look corny. Far better to let people use their imagination than hit them with the 'unsubtle club'.
