* Elegant and Contemporary Design

If you like contemporary interior decor, a minimalistic tempered glass dining table should fit your taste very well because it can be perfectly matched with neighboring furniture and merged in a modern home with a simple, clean silhouette and clear visual effect without bringing any abrupt feelings.

Compared with the traditional wooden dining table, the tempered glass dining table is bolder and more avant-garde in style. In a dining room advocating modern decoration, the glass dining table will reflect fashion and highlight the aesthetic of modern simplicity.

* Reflects Light & Enhances Space

A glass tabletop naturally reflects light, helping small or dark dining areas appear brighter and more spacious—especially helpful in urban apartments or narrow rooms.

*Non-porous and Long-Lasting Tabletop option

Glass can be considered a dense, non-porous material. Hence humidity can’t affect a toughened glass dining table at all. With a tempered glass table, you no longer need to worry that it will swell and deform; a simple cleaning will keep it in good condition for hundreds of years.

*Heat & Corrosion Resistance

Moreover, tempered glass tables have the advantages of excellent mechanical properties, good luster and feel, withstanding up to 600-degree heat and non-flammability, corrosion resistance, and so on.

*Wide Variety of Styles

From frosted and tinted glass to etched designs and colored bases, glass tables offer diverse customization options to match various décor styles—from ultra-modern to contemporary chic.

to meet the different needs of consumers.

*Safe When Broken

If shattered, tempered glass breaks into small, blunt granules instead of sharp shards. This makes it much safer than standard glass, especially in homes with children

2. 단점

* Spontaneous Breakage Risk

Although rare, toughened glass may spontaneously explode due to internal imperfections or inclusions (like nickel sulfide particles). While tempered glass is engineered for safety, spontaneous breakage can still occur—especially under intense temperature swings or stress on the edges.

*Finges Are Easly

They are more visible on glass surfaces. They may need to be cleaned daily or every week to keep it looking sleek.

A tip from the Astonia team: You can use a used newspaper to wipe away fingerprints or stains easily and thoroughly

*Not Suitable for Children and Pets

The breakable nature, sharp corners, and maintenance needs of glass tables are not ideal in homes with active pets or young children
