tempered glass tables

After a special heat treatment and high-pressure cooling process, tempered glass is several times tougher than regular annealed glass, making it a material-must for durable home furniture. Though it’s less likely to crack than others, if it were to break, tempered glass tables should shatter into tiny, less harmful pieces rather than sharp shards like annealed glass. Look for dining tables, coffee tables and side tables in this style for family homes and those with furry friends running about. Small round tables with simple tripod bases are perfect for breakfast nooks and small kitchen dinettes. Pair with clear acrylic chairs for a super see-through style. Coffee tables and sofa tables with open-frame metal bases and thick glass tops look sleek and minimal in modern living rooms. Some tempered glass tables are outdoor-safe—be sure to cover or bring indoors during inclement weather to maintain the integrity of the furniture.
