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

  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.

  Placing anything metal or ceramic on glass makes the most awful noises though, how do you cope with how loud it is?

    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
