Glass table tops offer homeowners an understated elegance. They serve as both a showpiece as well as a subtle complement to whatever your home’s design is. Whether modern or traditional, minimal or eclectic, a glass table top matches everything, making it a popular interior design choice. If you’re looking into a glass table top for your new home, answering these five Ws will help you find the best match for your unique style.

Who

Who will be using the table? The timeless style of glass table tops means that homeowners of all ages and design preferences choose this option, but it may be a material best avoided if you have young children in the home. Although glass table tops are manufactured to withstand your average level of wear and tear, they can still be prone to breaking or chipping if young kids drop items on the table or even run into it.

What

What do you want your table top to look like, or what will best match your interior design? Glass table tops can come in many varieties. Golden Glass even offers custom glass table top fabrication, so you can choose virtually any shape, size, or thickness level for your table. You can also add colors such as bronze or gray and include etchings for an extra touch of elegance.

When

When, or how often, will you use your glass table top? This may dictate how often it needs to be cleaned. Some tables require cleaning once a day or more, while others only need to be cleaned once a week or every few days. This can depend on your specific table, so work with your glazing contractor to choose a glass table top that meets your maintenance needs and time allowances.

Where

Where will the table be located? Its function can dictate which shape, size, or material is best for your table. Round dining tables are ideal for small families that want to encourage conversation. Their lack of sharp corners also makes them best for homes with kids or elderly residents. Square tables are great for end tables or nightstands, and a rectangular shape is popular for formal dining rooms or coffee tables. If you have a home office, you can place a glass table top over a wood desk to change up its appearance while adding an extra layer of scratch protection.

Why

Why should you buy a glass table top? If you know what table you want, but you’re still unsure of whether or not you should invest in one, consider the many benefits of a glass table. Not only do they complement any interior design and remain timeless, but they also open up any room and make it feel more spacious. They’re also light and compact, making them easy to move when needed. They’re antibacterial and easy to clean, and they attract light to brighten up any home.
