Glass furniture like coffee tables and display cases among others can greatly enhance the sophisticated look of a home. Using them with steel furniture is a popular design style, which helps to provide a modern and contemporary appeal of the house’s interiors. Glass furniture is usually made out of regular glass or tempered glass, the latter being more durable than the former. Glass furniture also helps to create an illusion of space as it doesn’t obstruct the view of the items behind it. As with glass floors and staircases, durability and safety is an issue that affects the use of glass furniture. However, many glass furniture are actually strong enough to withstand regular to heavy usage and have finely sanded edges to ensure that they are blunt enough not to cause any cuts or wounds to people handling them.
