Glass can shield wood surfaces from spills, condensation, scratches, and dings. It provides a sheer covering to ensure that your pieces maintain their natural beauty and luster for many years to come. For a contemporary look we can also custom cut glass that will serve as a table top in its own right. Having a transparent table can make small spaces feel more open. Furthermore, this offers a modern look by providing a clear, functional piece for daily use or decoration.
