Hi all! I'm looking to buy a new dining table and am considering a glass table. My current one is made from wood and it's time for a change. Is there any thing that I should be aware of for glass tables?

Hihi Curry Chicken! How's it going? You have to make sure that the glass dining table is heat and scratch resistant. I have a tempered glass dining table and only after we bought it, did we realise that it scratches quite easily :(

A little advice for you... Base material - Although the top of your dinning table is glass, there are different materials you can choose for the base of the table, such as aluminum, wood, metal, steel, marble and wrought iron. :joyous:

This is fantastic!

Glass table top pros

1) leave finger prints
2) easier to scratch
3) must make sure heat and shatter proof
4) for transparent glass tops, the table legs better be nice! people sitting at the table should have nice legs too
5) glass table tops attract dust

I agree with you curry chicken. Glass dining table sets have a versatile quality that can enhance your dining experience, as well as being an investment that can be enjoyed for many years to come.

There are a lot of pictures and videos of glass dining tables you can look at in many websites. There you will see all kinds which includes small compact rectangular black or red glass tables with chrome steel base; round Asian inspired table with crackled glass, The option and choices are unlimited and can be very difficult.
