> But why buy a piece of furniture with a working surface that doesn’t meet your needs so that you have to go out and fashion a new glass surface for it? If you like the look of wood behind glass, why not buy a table built with wood behind glass to begin with? Why produce a frankenstein table, designed one way but installed another?

We’ve got 2 tables with glass tops. One my wife bought before we got married, the other’s an antique dining room table she recently got for an excellent price. With 3 young kids, the glass tops are a necessity. When our kids move out or get past the barbarian stage, we’ll take the glass off.
