If you have young children or a boisterous family, avoid glass-topped coffee tables. They can be a hazard for youngsters and for parents concerned about spills and smudges.
Toddlers can too easily topple and cut themselves on sharp edges.
Glass-topped tables also require constant maintenance. Unless you're a fastidious housekeeper, a wood top would be preferable. Seasoned interior designers seldom choose them. Paint stain or wax the table if it seams a little shabby. For a reasonable price you will have a large, sturdy, practical, good-looking table.
