Even if they tend to be more expensive compared to other options, glass coffee tables will create the illusion of light and space in your sitting area, two qualities that we can’t overlook. Today, we’ve dedicated an article to inspire you with some oval glass top coffee table ideas, but not until we talk a little bit about glass coffee tables in general.

How to Choose a Glass Top Coffee Table
Prior to looking at any type of features, it’s important to determine why you want a glass top table in the first place. For instance, if you entertain guests, you’re going to need a larger glass top coffee table, otherwise a small one will suffice. Do you tend to place a lot of stuff on your coffee table? If so, you might want some storage. If you plan on moving the table around a lot, then you’re going to need one that doesn’t weigh too much, or perhaps a model with wheels that facilitates movement.
Once you get that out of the way, it’s time to look at the shopping considerations for choosing the best glass top coffee table for you:
- There are multiple designs when it comes to such a product, so let’s have an overview of your options. There are oval glass coffee tables with or without storage underneath, rectangular coffee tables that can even include display cabinets, tear-drop-style glass tops with glam-chic finishes, tables made entirely out of glass, and a variety of other designs. Choose one that best fits your room style.
- Glass top coffee tables aren’t made with glass alone, so consider the other materials that are used to make the base, legs, or frame of the table. The most common options are wood, metal, and ceramic, each of these with its own unique appeal.
- Always look at how much weight the glass coffee table can support and make sure that whatever you place on it doesn’t exceed that recommended threshold. Some glass tables can be quite expensive and it would be a shame if the frame collapsed because the recommended weight limit was exceeded.
- Consider tables with storage options if you want to place some books and plants underneath it (in which case you might want to opt for tables with open storage underneath) or somewhere to hide the remote controls, phone chargers, and magazines (choosing closed storage tables is a better choice in this case).

How to Clean a Glass Top Coffee Table
A glass-top coffee table can create the illusion of more space in the room and makes it look airy and lit. While stunning, glass coffee tables can also be difficult to clean because streaks are very visible if you don’t use the right solution and method for cleaning. If you’re not a fan of using chemical cleaners, you can look for options with naturally-derived ingredients. Aside from that, you are also going to need a couple of clean microfiber cloths, a kitchen towel, filtered or distilled water, and white vinegar:
- Make sure that you remove everything from the surface of the table. If the table is made entirely out of glass, you’re going to want to clean all the glass surfaces, and that includes any potential storage that might be underneath the table.
- If the table has any wood or metal components, you want to protect them during the cleaning process. Each material has its own requirements when it comes to cleaning, so avoid using a solution designed for a specific surface on a surface made from another material. You can use masking tape to protect parts of the table that aren’t made from glass.
- Before you apply any liquids to the glass surface, use a clean cloth to wipe dirt and dust off it. This includes any potential pieces of debris or stuff that, once in contact with cleaners, could end up damaging the glass table top.
- Make sure you get rid of heavy marks, which can be either sticky spots caused by spilled drinks or even water rings that weren’t cleaned in due time and can pose as stubborn stains. Spray a little bit of class cleaner (you can use diluted vinegar as an alternative) on the stain and leave it to soak for about half a minute. Grab a clean kitchen towel and wipe away the solution. If the dirt isn’t properly soaked and removed when first wiping, do this again. You can also add neat vinegar until the marks disappear.
- The underside of the table needs cleaning too, especially if you notice any marks. You can skip this step if you don’t notice any significant soiling.
- Once those stubborn marks have been removed, you can proceed to applying glass cleaners on the top of your table. You need to make sure there is an even coat of solution so that every square inch of the table will be properly cleaned. Some people like to use hot water alone for this step if their glass isn’t that dirty.
- Grab a microfiber cloth and start wiping the glass top using circular motion. Continue to do so until the cleaning solution is completely gone. You can use the same cloth to wipe the underside of the table clean (provided that the underside isn’t that dirty).
- Using a dry microfiber cloth, remove any excess moisture that might still be visible on the surface of the glass. You might have to unfold and fold the cloth a few times to make sure you’re always wiping the glass with a dry surface.
OPTIONAL: Some people like fully remove any remaining streaks by using some crumpled newspaper. This gives the glass a lustrous shine.
In Conclusion
There is something about glass top coffee tables that adds a drop of elegance to a seating room. In combination with all kinds of materials and base finishes, an oval glass top coffee table is perfect for home with children, where furniture corners are a risk of injury, and they make it easier to move around them, especially when you don’t have that much floor space to work it.
