When it’s a glass top surface, you have to be extremely careful about the weight of the things you park on it. For example, if you intend to use the narrow glass console table as a TV stand, ensure that you are aware of its weight-bearing capacity. Similarly, if it will be propped against a wall in your study and will accommodate your computer, laptop and other knick-knacks, stick to the weight limit and do not go overboard.
Remember that tempered glass is up to 7 times harder to break than regular glass. It is also regarded as the safest choice because when it breaks, it will shatter into small pebbles that pose less of a danger to your family.
