Buying Guide

Match diameter to your base

Measure your coffee table base and choose a round top that aligns with the base footprint—common sizes here include 12", 18" and 20" diameters

Prefer tempered glass for safety

Tempered glass is stronger and shatters into smaller, less dangerous pieces than annealed glass, making it the standard for outdoor tabletops

Check edge finish and thickness

Beveled or polished edges reduce chips and improve comfort; 3/8" thickness is common for balance of strength and weight on these glass tops

Consider weight and handling

Heavier tempered glass offers durability but may need two people to install—confirm the weight is compatible with your table frame

Match appearance to patio style

Clear tempered glass keeps sightlines open and pairs with mixed materials; choose a beveled edge for a slightly dressier look
