Glass dining tables
Dining tables in tempered glass: round, oval and extendable
A glass table is chosen for one property that neither wood nor board has: it does not crowd the room, because the eye passes straight through it.
Where that decides things
In a small kitchen and in a room where the table stands in a walkway. A heavy wooden top visually cuts the space in half, while a transparent one leaves the floor visible and the room reads whole. The same effect works with the chairs: beside a glass table you can put substantial chairs and the arrangement still does not turn heavy.
Pros and cons in daily use
| Property | What it means |
|---|---|
| Absorbs nothing | Neither wine nor grease nor marker leaves a trace. It wipes dry in a second. |
| Unbothered by heat | Tempered glass takes hot dishes better than lacquer or veneer. |
| Everything shows | Every fingerprint, every crumb and the dust beneath the top. You will wipe it more often than wood, not less. |
| Sound | Crockery is louder on glass. Placemats solve that entirely. |
About safety. The tops are tempered glass: many times stronger than ordinary glass, and when it does break it crumbles into blunt pieces rather than shards with a cutting edge. But tempered glass has a weak point few people know about: it fears a point impact on the edge, not on the face. You can knock on the surface; catching the rim with the corner of a pan is what to avoid.
