A Glass Coffee Table Is A Sign Of Elegance And Style

<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->

Those who owned a glass coffee table some years ago are among the select few who can be said to have the wealth and the taste to keep the most necessitating cosmetic palate. It is only those who had the good taste and good fortune that could own them, as this was what they signified. That was why they could only be found in the most modern and upwardly mobile homes around the world.

Over the decades, things are no longer how they used to be. They have changed. These days, just about anyone can own a glass coffee table, unlike how it used to be. Why? They are now much more affordable that even the middle-class can use them as attractive living room pieces of furniture and still enjoy the feel of having good taste and class. Having a glass coffee table still shows a sign of elegance and style. These days they are now affordable for almost everyone.

Brass is what surrounds the classic glass coffee tables. Brass gives the reflective material much more gle am and brightness. Today, anyone can buy these pieces as antiques. If you don't want to buy them as antiques, you can still buy them brand new. Add the brass-accented coffee table to your room and get the wonderful glow it brings.
No matter how good your decor looks, it can be made to look better with the seemingly timeless tables. Of course, the glass coffee table can easily fit into any room and would not take away the general feel of the design of the room. The unostentatious feature of the table is elegant without being overmastering. That is why you can put a glass coffee table almost anywhere.

To show you how timeless these tables are, my glass coffee table was passed down to me from my beloved parents. That is why I love the piece so much. Sadly I don't use it now because my energetic and curious toddler is all over the place. I don't want her to get too energetic near that piece of glass as destruction can happen, if you know what I mean. This is one of the problems with having such special glass piece of furniture.

The technique I used the first time to get my toddler away from the glass coffee table didn't seem to work. I tried to always boom "NO" each time my todd ler neared the table, but this wasn't effective. Another technique I tried was to put a bummer around the glass table. Still it didn't work. The table just seemed to attract my daughter more and more.

My toddler just doesn't want to stay away from the table. I have stood guard many times with a constant supply of window cleaner which I used to clean up my daughter's fingerprints from the glass. But each time I took her away from the forbidden object, she just goes back to it like bees to honey. Now, I am running out of options. What I will do now is just to get my beloved glass coffee table away from her reach, until she has grown up. Then, my only worry will be her father!

A Clear Choice - The Versatile Glass Coffee Table

We watch TV shows and movies, we eat, the kids socialize with friends and do homework, we take naps, and we hold parties. Outside the kitchen, it's the place that gets the biggest workout, at least in my home. The furniture needs to be comfortable, hold up to wear and tear, and for most of us, still convey a sense of style.

Why would I then select a glass coffee table for this space? It's an accident waiting to happen, you might say. But I've had more than one glass coffee table, and the fact that I've bought more than one shows that they work for me.

When I had a baby cruising the living room furniture, I was anxious about the hard-edged wood table we had. I found a wicker coffee table, one with soft, rounded edges and a glass insert for the table top. I did pause at the thought of adding glass to the equation with a toddler in the house. Instead, the rounded wicker was a safe choice, and the baby never tried to play with, sit on, or otherwise damage the tempered glass that was inset into the wicker surface. In fact, the glass top was a great surface for modeling clay or drawing paper. Cleanup was as easy as a wipe with glass cleaner and a paper towel.

When the kids got a little older, and we added furniture to the house, I did not hesitate to buy another glass coffee table. This time, I found the perfect one to place in front of my new sofa-a rectangle glass top with a rolled edge and a solid, wrought iron base that provided a shelf for books. Not only did it look great in the room, but I realized that this glass coffee table did not take up the visual space that a wood table might have. I had a full-sized glass coffee table, but because of its clear top and its wrought iron base, you could see completely through it. The great upholstery I picked for the sofa and the area rug was visible below the table were the starring elements in the decor. This glass table let me highlight the other design elements in the room.

Time came to outfit another room--this time, a smaller, more cozy space. What would look good in front of the antique love seat in my library? A small space called for less visual clutter. What did I find that fit the space? Another glass coffee table, this time, an oval inset in a bronze metal frame with slender support bars. Again, it takes up no visible weight, but still suits the decor of the room. My newest glass coffee table is light, so it's easy to move, and it's a snap to clean.

You can find a glass coffee table in nearly any size, to match any dcor. Look for them in wood with glass inserts, with a metal base that supports a floating glass top, on top of a wicker or rattan base, with contemporary geometric glass tops and a minimal metal frame, or even a trunk with a glass lid that provides a display space beneath its top surface. But to avoid injury in an unlikely accident, it's important to ensure that the glass is tempered, and that it sits solidly on its base.

Choosing a glass coffee table provides a versatile, easy-to-care-for, stylish addition to your home.

Author Jennifer Akre is an owner of a wide variety of online specialty shops including that offer both items and information on how you can easily furnish and decorate your space. Whether it is living room tables for your living room or tables for you newly remodeled home, there are many tips you can use to make any spot both functional and beautiful.

Media Glass Coffee Tables

On a recent visit to a friends house I was stunned to see this fantastic "Media" glass coffee table from Abode Interiors.

It's not that often I get excited about furniture but as soon as I saw this incredible glass coffee table I had to have one. At first I thought it must be plastic but was amazed to it was manufactured from a single piece of 12mm glass.

The size is perfect for my generous living room and I love the way I can place my newspapers and magazines in the drop shaped curve without cluttering the coffee table itself. I have seen many other glass coffee table that cannot touch this for style let alone value, I picked this up on line from abode Interiors for an incredible 224.99 with free delivery!

It arrived on the day I was told it would and packed in a neat MDF box that kept it safe and secure.

Abode Interiors do a wide range of modern coffee tables. This include bent glass coffee tables and also clear glass nest of coffee tables.

So your in the market for a designer coffee table and if like me finding that perfect contemporary piece seems all but impossible you should check this offering out from Abode Interiors.

This glass "Nest" coffee table offers superb versatility and setting options which is why I went for it. First of all the two smaller glass nests sit perfectly under the main rectangular coffee table when not in use, while further protecting them from dust and unwanted hand touches keeping them nice and clean for when you do get them out!

For me the nest coffee table was perfect as I use the two smaller tables on demand when guests visit while the main glass coffee table is perfect as a stand alone living room piece. One comment I would make is that all three of the tables look super slick on their own and as they are glass remain discreet, understated and stylish.

For those that are concerned about the strength and integrity of glass coffee tables do not worry. These Abode Interiors three glass nests are all manufactured from 19mm glass and are real heavyweights, you can tell they are quality from the weight and clarity you get through the glass.

The table arrived next day and was so well packed in a tidy MDF crate. Upon opening the crate plenty of protection was used inside to protect the glass. Come to think of it the packaging was almost as good as the table!

For me this glass nest coffee table is perfect! I've had it a few months now and it still looks fantastic!
