Tables can serve a multitude of functions and are available in an endless array of materials, shapes and sizes. The main two types of dining tables are glass topped and wood. Wood is traditionally the preferred dining table material; however, glass has quickly risen in popularity in the last few years. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, which should be considered before purchasing.

The Advantages of Glass Dinning Tables Glass dining tables

Glass dining tables  have become extremely popular because many people have grown tired of the traditional wooden dining tables. Both offer a variety of shapes and sizes including round, oval, square, rectangular and even strange or unusual shapes. Traditional wood is not necessarily the best fit for all styles, but glass is extremely versatile and can fit with most any style, including antique, minimalist, and even modern. Glass top tables are certainly a style statement, offering an attractive, chic and modern look. Glass is also appealing to many buyers because of its great price variations. There are many less expensive options that still produce great aesthetic results. Because the glass surface reflects light and is see-through, it makes the room seem brighter and larger. Perhaps one of the biggest advantages to glass over wood is how easy it is to maintain. Glass simply needs to be wiped down and it will shine. Wood, however, can stain, scratch and show liquid spots. Its sheen will grow dull overtime if not properly maintained or refinished.

Are Glass Dining Tables Safe?

A big concern many people have about glass tables is their safety. Unlike wood, glass could potentially shatter and cause harm. Luckily, glass tables are extremely safe. Most glass tables on the market are made with tempered safety glass that is very resistant to impacts and breaking. If it does break it will break into small cubes, rather than shattering and cutting. If you are concerned about children and your glass table simply opt for one that features the glass tabletop set within a frame to ensure it is more stable and secure.
