    I liked what you said about glass dining tables being chic and stylish as well as being sturdy. My husband and I are thinking of redoing our dining room. We are considering a chic modern look. We will have to consider getting a glass table.

    Wood, all day ‘er day. Less cleaning needed. A simple swipe and you’re done. No need to scrub until all fingerprints and smudges are gone, and then get mad when someone touches the table I just spent 15 minutes de-smudging.

    I was always paranoid about glass furniture-tables and even cabinets, when the kids were small. No matter how well they were made I could picture them being smashed and little ones getting hurt. Now I have a wooden table in the kitchen , a glasstable inthe sunroom , and a metal table on the deck .

      Ohhhh good point that the decision of which dining table material to get can depend on whether there’s kids in the house ;)

    I have two glass-top tables inside and a wooden and a plastic table outside. I guess my vote is for glass, but I do love my wooden table that fits a large number of guests.

      You have the best of both worlds, glass AND wood! That just goes to show that sometimes you don’t have to choose one or the other ;)

      Prefer wood.
      Paul tripped over a toy and hit the glass and it shattered. Luckily he only had minor cuts and this was when our kids were little. If you have kids glass is not a good choice. I would include people who are not stable on their like elderly or disabled.
      Paul has lost his footing and the wood table has held when he stabled himself
