A dining table is one of the most frequently used items of furniture in any home. All breakfasts, lunches and dinners that are served on it provide the possibility of damage to the soft wooden surface. Damage to the wooden surface makes your furniture look dull and significantly older than the other pieces of furniture in your house. Damage caused by scratches and spills could not be more effectively prevented by any means than by the use of glass table tops.
Glass is a hard, durable material which is used to cover and protect the top surfaces of delicate wooden furniture, such as side, patio, kitchen and dining tables or even a chest of drawers in the bedroom, a console table in the hallway or a computer desk in the office. They are available in different shapes, sizes and thickness. The heavier and taller the furniture item is, the thicker the glass table top should ideally be.

How about the risk of breakage? To minimize the risk of accidents caused by breakage, it is recommended to consider purchasing one that is made out of tempered glass, especially if you have young children at home. This type of glass will not break anywhere near as easily as ordinary glass does and if it ever does, the broken pieces are not anywhere near as sharp or small. This can greatly reduce and prevent the chances of any serious injuries. Also, the thicker and heavier the glass table top is, the less likely it will break.
