To think glass topped tables are a wee bit urgh?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

All that cleaning?

And who wants ti glance down at splayed thighs while savouring your quinoa sorbet?

I am so actually NBU.

[PhaedraIsMyName]

Wow a whole new genre of cat pictures !

[PhaedraIsMyName]

The cat photo really is brilliant. Who'd have thought that's how they arrange everything to fit.

[HerrenaHarridan]

I really want one so that I can serve up dinner on see through glass plates.

In my misspent youth we used to lie underneath my friends parents one pouring water from one big clear glass jug to another... It was aaaaaamazing maaan!

[Pumpkinification]

Glass top on a wooden coffee table, fab. I have an inherited set with emboidery under the glass, love them.

Dining tables OTOH, yuck. IMHO.

[Bewooohooove]

Another reason to buy a Karcher window vac. Comes up a treat.

[Primrose123]

Wooooo, that is the best photo ever.

[DiaDuit]

Ive just bought one and cant wait to get it in so i can clean it aaaalllll the time and sigh with satisfaction each time

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Whutnow?

I leave you to go to a concert, and yiu turn my thread of aesthetics into a coprophilia fest. Cheers.

Chuh.

I'm not a fan of glass topped tables either. It could only end in disaster in this house.

DH had one in the kitchen if his rented flat(share) when we met. It was filthy. I (foolishly) tried to clean it once. It was a total nightmare.

[ithoughtofitfirst]

Never really thought about it before OP. But yeah. They suck.

[WeAreGroot]

We had the option to have one left in our last rental property, couldn't get the landlord to move it out quickly enough!

I'd be terrified of using one, I'm dreadfully clumsy and capable of breaking absolutely anything. If I had access to a glass table it would only be a matter of time.....

[squoosh]

Love the levitating cat.

Hate glass topped dining tables. Hate them.

[ClapHandsIfYouBelieveInFatties]

I hate them but might get a small one now I've seen that photo!

[noddyholder]

I always put them in refurbs as they make the floor space look bigger but I think they are horrible and would never have one myself So clanky and noisy and always look dirty unless polished

[SnakeyMcBadass]

Yanbu. We bought one for our tiny kitchen diner when the dc were small. It scratched like a bastard and I got sick of moving the pepper pot to block out ds' s genitals (clothes refusing toddler).

Don't keepna glass table anywhere where the sun can hit it. Mine was sitting in a dining room and had the sun shining through the window. One afternoon the bonding that held the legs to the glass burst with a huge bang. I actually thought the table had exploded. Same thing happened to my friends. Have to get it uv bonded back on and it costs ££££. Gave it away on free cycle.

Love love love my posh big round glass dining table. Not difficult to clean if you are blessed with dust blindness. When absolutely necessary, just a squirt or two of window cleaner and dry off with kitchen paper. Easy peasy

[NanooCov]

I am not a fan. My neighbours have a glass patio table. It's frosted but still, glass table outside is just asking for trouble in my opinion.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

I don't like clear glass but I really like glass on top of wooden tables, no need for coasters or mats and easily cleaned.

[figgypuddings]

If the splayed thighs belong to Alan Rickman then yabu and to hell with the cleaning.

Best cat pic ever.

[Ohmypants]

wooooo love the picture, just snorted my cuppa over phone though!

[VoyagerII]

Love the cats! I don't know what I thought the underneath of a cat sat on a table looked like, but it's kind of weird.

I also instantly thought of pooing, I can't see a glass table without thinking about that since someone told me about it. So it would put me off my sausages.

But also, I know of someone who was badly injured from falling onto and breaking a glass coffee table, so I'd never get one as I'm over-anxious about that kind of thing. Seeing people's thighs would be the last of my worries.

[BertieBotts]

They do look nice when properly cleaned, though.

[ElephantsNeverForgive]

Coffe tables an utter pain because you have to clear all the junk off it and polish it properly, not just wipe off one tea ring. It's also a total dust magnet.

[SanityClause]

We have a glass topped table (but it's translucent glass, so you can't see your legs through it, as you are eating).

I love it, aksherly!

YR sooooo BU. So there.
