Placing anything metal or ceramic on glass makes the most awful noises though, how do you cope with how loud it is?
I'm glad I got a glass dinner table: otherwise I'd never know how much gunk my young child smears in the underside of the table

Placemats.

My aunt and uncle have a big wooden dining table, and like 50 different kinds of placemats

Not OP but: Placemats.

My aunt did not like eating peas. And she hid them behind the refrigerator for more than a year.
Moral of the story: be glad it’s the underside of the table and not behind the refrigerator.

I’m glad I don’t have a young child, for similar reasons

I always have the irrational or maybe rational fear of glass breaking. Any furniture I buy doesn’t have any glass elements.

It can definitely break when mishandled. With kids you probably don’t want glass furniture.

I believe our table (and most tables) are tempered glass, so if it breaks it shouldn’t be dangerous.
We did get rid of a glass coffee table though, for that reason

I both want a picture and REALLY don’t.

I clean it every day, because I see how much there is, so it never gets that bad.
But when I think about what’d be under there if I didn’t know it was happening for years, I shudder

It’s also easier to clean glass without ruining it.
