Toughened Glass Computer table ?

Dicehunter · 27 Oct 2014 at 17:47

Looking at getting a table made out of black glass as I love the look of them, Has to be tough though as my PC, Monitor etc... will be going on it.

Any suggestions for 1 that doesn't cost an arm and a leg ?

It will get scratched to death.

I'm guessing the toughened glass will help with that, Plus my keyboard and mouse are on an extra large M+K mat, My headset stand has rubber feet, The computer case has rubber feet and the monitors both have rubber feet too

Ok, Dont say I didn't warn you

A large mat will help though obviously, I had 2 so my main one stayed free of bis and bobs.

You sir are awesome !!!

Although only 50KG's seems a bit on the measly side.

lol, I just happened to be looking at those earlier on today

I thought it might be a bit small at only 1m wide. Still, only £25...

My current table is 150 x 75 so at 99 x 52 I think I'll actually have to go elsewhere

I would never use a glass top desk to put my pc on. All it takes is a sharp tap with something metal on the edge and it'll shatter. Just imagine if it did break and then your pc would fall straight through :eek:

Black glass?

I've got a clear glass desk, as pointed out above it will scratch easily, main thing that got mine was ceramic plates and cups, get a mat to put down on it to protect it.

The other issue you'll have with black is, every single speck of dust, hair, grease or anyother detritus stands out and will make it look grubby.

Hmm, Good point, Would be nice if smokey black transparent desks existed that didn't cost a mortgage and were as strong as solid wood

My place is pretty clean, Gets cleaned a lot and I have a coaster down for any drinks so it wouldn't be an issue
