Find Glass Tabletops and Glass Fixtures for Your Home and Garden
Glass-topped and mirrored furniture for the home and garden have been popular for decades. Whether you are seeking a classic Art Deco look or prefer a more contemporary style, eBay has many new and second-hand options, including complete pieces and glass table parts and accessories.
What types of replacement parts can you buy?The following are some of the replacement parts for glass tabletops and fixtures:
- Glass tabletop: Glass table parts that are cut to size can be obtained and are also available in standard sizes. The typical thickness is 6-8 mm. Edges can be polished or unpolished, depending on whether the style of furniture has exposed edges. Frosted or tempered finishes can also be ordered.
- Under-glass bumpers: Small rubber bumpers are placed under a glass tabletop to prevent glass grinding with the frame and stop the glass slipping. These are normally clear and are either self-adhesive or have a stem, in flat and coved shapes.
- Glass screws: Specialist screws suitable for glass or mirrors have washers, which sit between the screw and the glass. These include a cap cover that affixes into the top of the screw and can be domed or flat and have a polished or matte finish.
Glass and mirrored furniture has become a favourite for providing a useful surface whilst creating the illusion of space.
Living room furniture, such as coffee tables, often feature a glass top, and may have a glass shelf underneath. Glass topped half-moon, rectangular, and crescent-shaped console/side tables, which suit hallways or smaller spaces, often also have table drawers. Occasional tables can be found with an image behind the glass tabletop. Mirrored dressing and bedside tables are trending and can be found in various sizes for the bedroom.
Rattan garden or conservatory furniture will often feature a glass tabletop, sometimes with a brown or grey tint. Some traders offer custom tinting services. Dining tables are often manufactured with a glass top and are available in a number of sizes. Glass tables for the garden can include a central hole for a parasol. Again, some eBay traders will drill replacement glass for this purpose.
When would you use protective glass on furniture?A glass top can be placed on the top of a piece of furniture, such as a bedside cabinet or chest of drawers, to protect the wooden surface from drink rings or scratches. These are often used in guest accommodation or on surfaces in constant use, and can be coloured.
