Glass Dining Tables

A glass dining table creates a clean, modern dining space that still works for the everyday. Midweek pasta, Saturday brunch with friends, the laptop that lives on the table between meals. Glass has a way of making a room feel more pulled together without the furniture doing all the talking, which is why it suits everything from compact kitchen-diners to larger dining rooms that see a full house at weekends.

Our glass dining room tables come in round, rectangular, and square shapes with chrome, gold, and black metal finishes, seating 4 to 6. Every order includes free next-day delivery and free 30-day returns. Browse the full range below.

You'll find clear tempered glass across most of the range, plus black tinted options if you want something with a bit more depth. Tables are sold individually here, so you can pair yours with whichever dining chairs suit the room or browse our glass dining sets if you'd rather have the chairs matched and ready to go. We also stock extending glass tables for households where the numbers shift.

How a Glass Dining Table Changes the Feel of a Room

Most dining tables anchor a room with their surface. Wood brings warmth, marble effect brings texture, high gloss brings polish. Glass does something different. It steps back and lets the rest of the room come forward. The chairs become more visible. The rug underneath gets noticed. The base of the table itself becomes a design detail rather than something hidden by the tabletop. That makes glass a surprisingly flexible starting point when you're putting a dining space together.

Chrome and silver legs give the table a cooler, sharper feel that suits pale walls, modern lighting, and rooms where you want things to feel crisp. Gold-effect bases bring warmth and work well alongside brass, copper, or richer colour schemes. Black metal legs ground the table and suit spaces with exposed brick, darker flooring, or an industrial edge.

Our dining table buying guide covers sizing and shape in more detail, but the finish and base style are where a glass table really starts to take on character.

Making a Glass Table Work for Your Kind of Dining

Glass suits different households for different reasons. If you like things feeling clean and uncluttered after dinner, it works in your favour. Just a quick wipe and the table looks as good as it did when you bought it. Nothing soaks in. No stains from a bolognese spill or a red wine ring that becomes part of the furniture. That's a genuine practical advantage over wood and marble effect, especially in homes where the table earns its keep every day.

For families, tempered glass is strong enough for daily meals, and the smooth surface wipes down faster than textured finishes after the kind of dinners that involve small hands and enthusiastic ketchup. Placemats and coasters protect against scratches from crockery and cutlery.

If you host regularly but the table sits two or four most of the week, an extending glass table gives you both sizes without committing the room to a permanently large piece. And because glass reflects candlelight and lower evening lighting well, it's a table that looks genuinely different at dinner than it does at breakfast. Velvet dining chairs lean into that shift nicely.

FAQs

How thick is the glass on your dining tables?

Most tables in this range use tempered glass between 8mm and 12mm thick. Thicker glass has a more solid feel and a slightly heavier presence in the room. Each product listing includes the exact thickness alongside the other dimensions.

Can I put hot dishes directly on a glass table?

It's better to use trivets or heat-resistant mats. Tempered glass handles moderate heat, but very hot pans placed straight onto the surface can cause stress over time. Mats also stop crockery sliding on the smooth top, which is useful when you're passing dishes around.

Is a glass dining table safe with young children?

Tempered glass is around four to five times stronger than standard glass and, if it ever does break, it fractures into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards. Many of our glass tables have rounded or polished edges too. Glass also wipes clean quickly after messy mealtimes, which parents tend to appreciate.

Does glass scratch easily?

Tempered glass is harder than regular glass, but sharp objects like keys, ceramic pot bases, or unglazed crockery can leave fine marks over time. Placemats during meals and coasters for drinks prevent most everyday scratches.

What's the difference between clear and black glass?

Clear glass has the lightest look and shows most of the base beneath. Black glass adds depth and contrast, suiting darker chairs and moodier dining rooms. Both use the same tempered glass, so the choice is purely about the look you prefer.

Will a glass table suit a room that isn't very modern?

Glass is more versatile than people assume. Paired with wooden or upholstered chairs, warm lighting, and natural textures like a jute rug, a glass table can sit comfortably in a room that isn't strictly contemporary. The transparency means it doesn't compete with whatever else is going on in the space.

Can I buy an extending glass dining table?

Yes. We stock extending dining tables with glass tops that open out for extra seating and fold back for everyday meals. It's a practical choice if your household changes size between weeknights and weekends.
