MYTH#1: GLASS WILL SHATTER
There is no denying the fact glass is a vulnerable material and is likely to break easily. But the lesser known fact about glass tables is the updated technology has enabled the glass to be made from tempered safety glass so to provide resistance to damage. This allows you to place even the heaviest objects on your glass dining table without causing it to break or crash. It is a good idea to take protective measures and to avoid potential damage as is the case with any other material but not buying a glass dining table just because you think it would break too easily is not a good enough reason.

MYTH#2: GLASS DOESN’T MATCH
People have a general opinion regarding glass that it does not match and it can only be used in some super ultra modern home. Your myth just got busted because as per international practice, glass tables have achieved popularity in almost every kind of home, whether it’s minimal black and white interior or a vintage looking ambience. Your glass table will fit almost anywhere, be it the kitchen, dining room or bar. The airy surface of glass tables allow it to absorb and reflect off light making it an ideal match for wood and metal furniture. Place it in the centre of a room full of dark, solid colored and textured furniture and watch how it adds to the ambience instead of taking away from it.

MYTH#3: GLASS REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION
This one is somewhat true but more often than not, over-exaggerated. Like all your wood, metal, plastic and rattan furniture need your attention, so does your glass furniture. You need to look after your glass dining table just like you look after your wood chairs. You can simply swipe the glass table top with a table cloth, trivet or any other similar surface you deem fit for protective purposes of the glass. This way, you will not just be protecting your glass dining table but will also be adding to your room décor.

So, now you shouldn’t have any doubts about purchasing a glass dining table. Know better than to believe the common myths doing the rounds, as dining tables made from glass have proven worthwhile investments for people over the years and there is no reason why the table you buy should last you a while as well.
