Why Glass Table Tops?

• Refresh older pieces with a less permanent option, as compared to stains or painted glass.

• Glass is beautiful; glass top is an excellent way to add shine to an otherwise dull item.

• Elevate the impact of wood tables or dressers while protecting these investments from scratches, glass rings, sun damage and scuffs.

• Order a tabletop to complete a table, nightstand or even a plant stand.

• Renew old glass table inserts with a glass table replacement; outdoor tables are especially vulnerable to damage and weathering.
