I would like some suggestion on the dining table design
The design that I have in mind is a fixed concrete/granite slab with a support on either sides or one side
connecting to the wall with covered wooden benches (top side cushion) and shelves with door on the easily accessible side.

What, if any, are the problems with the concrete slab table design ?

Answer
Fixed dining table design is great as long as you don't have any plan to do renovation works in the area where you placed your dining table.

Will Sur dining table work with my other furniture?

I am thinking of getting the Big Sur table and benches from Crate and Barrel. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=891&f=14069&q=sur&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1

But my other furniture are sort of Ballard Design style. Samples :
Armoire in black -- http://www.ballarddesigns.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1025&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C5%2C36%2C200&iProductID=1025

Console table (also in black) -- http://www.ballarddesigns.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1746&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=demilune

My couches are similar in color to the link below, although style is a little more relaxed -- http://www.scandinaviandesigns.com/?page=shop/flypage&page_back=shop/category_items&offset=0&product_id=1572&category_id=a10b5d1d7c7745585411b442dc5aa934

Main artwork has dark traditional frame.

Is there any way to make this work?

Answer
I'm not liking the white oak table with all the black pieces you have noted. I would choose a warmer wood color and then it would blend. The style of the table would work, just not the light color. Then the dark leather chairs would pull it together nicely with the rest of the look. Good choices though.
