My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Design Dilemma

Weight?

10 years ago
I am considering getting a custom glass dining table made. Most likely a table for 10. About 9 feet long.
Maximum 18 inches wide.
The problem is that I need to be able to move the table sometimes. And I am afraid that it will be to heavy to lift and move.
for my husband and I.
Anyone know anything about the weight of a table like this? If you own one are you able to move yours?

    Wow! 18" wide...that's barely wide enough for a "regular" sized adult to sit at. Chairs are wider than this thing will be wide...how will that work? The average dining chair = 16" - 20" wide...Your table will barely be able to deal with a regular chair. That will be one HEAVY piece of furniture! Glass is HEAVY.

    I found an online company advertising glass top 48" x96" = 240 - 300 lbs...just for the table top. The narrower the glass the thicker it will have to be. The 48" x 96" isn't quite the dimensions you are looking at...but the weight should be in the ball park.
