We'd ordered a 48 inch glass top and the table that we wanted to use the glass top for, after a redesign of our library we notice that the support was not going to hold 100 pound.  After 2 months of late night looking and the glass top being on the floor in one of the shipping boxes, we said that it.  This table was going to be something temporary, but the quality and the weight of the base was so wonderful that we didn't put the table top on and just used the base.  Never even believed that it would look this good and it is a keeper.
