Tulip table with glass top

8 years ago
Hi,

I'm looking for a tulip table with a white glass top instead of fiberglass or mdf. This is going in my kitchen and my kids will be using it. i dont want something that will scratch/chip easy or stain.

Thanks

    I didn't find any with glass tops but there seem to be some available with wood tops, though the ones I found were much pricier than the fiberglass versions.

    You could probably find a glass shop that would make a glass top to put over a fiberglass version for not too much money.

    Yeah i couldnt really find one either. so maybe the marble top is an option, but some of them say faux marble. Are those as sturdy and pretty and the real thing?

    Room & Board has two tulip tables: an Aria table with multiple sizes and a large variety of tops and a Saarinen table with a couple options in shape/tops. I have a couch and two chairs from R&B and have been pleased with the quality.

    Could you get a glass top made to fit on top of table
  • 8 years ago

    I just purchased the Aria base from Room and Board. It is manufactured in the U.S.A. It is one piece and the price is fair. It was the next best thing to the real thing and not a cheap knockoff. My quibble with the stone and glass top is that they sit on the base and are not attached in any way. I decided to add my own wood top as opposed to using one of theirs.

    I like the room and board one. i am a little worried that the top is not secured onto the base. I also found this one by domitalia. Couldnt find many reviews, but it says its tempered white glass and steel base. Any opinions on which one might be better?

    I bet you that one is made overseas and customer support will be nil. As stated above, R&B customer service is great. I also did not want MDF as it scratches too easily so I ordered a unfinished maple top from www.tablelegs.com with a stingray edge. The goal was to paint myself, but may hire a pro so I get an extra durable finish. If you could afford it, the white quartz will be a good option instead of glass since you have kids. To get past the concept of it just sitting on the top, I would take a circular piece of plywood affix it to the underside of the stone with construction adhesive. Then use wood screws to fasten the plywood to the tulip base.

    The base is surprisingly light but is one entire piece rather than two like I have seen elsewhere. Also if your space is limited, keep in mind the base is fairly wide at 24 inches for the 42 and 36 inch tops. Thus, a chair cannot fit entirely against the table when pushed in. Kind of a problem for me as my eating area is small. Just something to keep in mind with all tulip/trumpet bases.

    Mdf with melamine is about 1000xless likely to scratch than painted wood.

    There's a time and place for all in life. With kids I'd do a parson base from Room and board, and select a forgiving etched glass or quartz top. Period : ) Kids LEAN on stuff.

    Satin etched glass top, pick a size. Sturdy...... no tipping,

    Milly, you need to read the description on the R&B table before commenting. The MDF top from R&B does NOT have a melamine top. They have a formica white or gray on top of their plywood, but the MDF is strictly lacquer coated. It does not get good reviews for durability.
