What type of glass is best for the coffee table?

A glass coffee table adds a timeless, elegant touch to any space, effortlessly complementing a wide range of home decor styles. However, because it can be fragile, it's important to choose the right type of glass. Tempered or toughened glass is the best option for a coffee table, as it's stronger and more durable, helping to reduce the risk of breakage.

Are glass coffee tables safe?

Yes — all glass coffee tables at Choice Furniture Superstore use toughened tempered glass, which is 4–5 times stronger than standard glass. If broken, tempered glass shatters into small blunt pebbles rather than sharp shards, significantly reducing injury risk. For households with young children, consider models with rounded corners and a lower profile. Look for tables with the BS EN 12150 safety certification for complete peace of mind.

What thickness of glass is best for a coffee table?

For a coffee table, a glass thickness of at least 8mm tempered glass is recommended for everyday use. 10mm glass is considered the premium standard and provides excellent rigidity and strength across larger table surfaces. 6mm glass is sometimes used for smaller or shelf sections. Avoid tables with glass thinner than 6mm for a primary surface. All glass coffee tables on our site clearly state the glass thickness on the product page.

Can glass coffee tables support weight?

Yes — tempered glass coffee tables are designed to support the weight of everyday items. A 10mm tempered glass top can comfortably support loads of 50–75kg when evenly distributed. For reference, a decorative tray, books, remote controls and a lamp are well within safe limits. Avoid placing very heavy concentrated loads such as large aquariums or heavy sculpture pieces on glass surfaces. Always check the individual product specifications for weight ratings.

Are glass coffee tables hard to keep clean?

Glass coffee tables do show fingerprints and smudges more readily than wood surfaces, but they are straightforward to clean. Use a microfibre cloth with a small amount of glass cleaner or a diluted white vinegar solution and buff in circular motions. Avoid abrasive cloths or harsh chemical cleaners that can damage any coating on the glass. A quick daily wipe keeps a glass coffee table looking pristine — the non-porous surface means spills never stain.
