A Glass Dining Table is a Clear Choice

Consider a glass dining table for a refreshing wind of change through your dining area, like a breeze through a desert. Glass top dining tables are sophisticated, attractive, and easy to clean. They can lend an illusion of greater space or seem to balance in the air as an illusion. They furnish a classic clean, sleek elegance to dining décor. Glass tabletops can be transparent, etched, textured, or frosted to different eye-pleasing effects. Glass tops can be produced in many colors as well – white, black, frosted blues, greens, other shades, and patterns. Glass tops can be round, oval, polygonal, free form, or custom designed. How would a black glass dining table look in your dining room?

A variety of bases makes glass tops interesting. Some feature wooden truss arrangements in a variety of natural finishes or rainbow colors. Large branching tree sections make a good effect and lend to conversation. A cross section of giant redwood is colorful and interesting. Certain glass dining room table brands a small fish aquarium or terrarium in the base that is startling. As a contemporary alternative, some glass-topped tables have no bases, but are suspended from a ceiling by invisible support lines.

What is the best shape for your glass dining room table?

Traditional and contemporary styles and shapes will suit the needs and preferences of most, yet custom designing is available. Most often, a dining room table is rectangular and a glass top can be beveled around the edges artistically. To avoid sharp angles and edges go with an oval or round glass dining table instead. Either glass top provides a sense of refreshing openness and accommodates guest seating well. Complimentary styles in benches and chairs make this easy. If the room is large enough, a circular glass top is striking. Take measurements and be sure to leave an open band of about 3 feet wide around the table for chair movement and safety to prevent falls into the glass. Circular glass dining room tables can be more relaxing than rectangular glass - King Arthur’s Round Table seated no one at the “head of the table.”

A round table one yard (36”) in diameter seats 4 and a rectangular piece 4 feet by 9 feet accommodates 12-14 diners. Larger glass top tables may require custom manufacture. The glass tabletop surface is also important. Do you want a transparent or a misty, semi-opaque glass top? Do you wish black glass or any in a range of colors? You might consider etching, patterns and images on a transparent glass dining table top. A floral arrangement of roses can be etched in black, matching similar patterns in a set of fine china and silverware to gather praises from guests. Topped with a rose arrangement at a dinner party, the overall effect is stunning. Perfect for all glass dining tables.

A scratch-resistant glass top eliminates table pads and smelly wood cleaners. A standard glass cleaner, vinegar or ammonia; microfiber cleaning cloths are great.
