I bought a beautiful coffee table to match my end tables. It lifted up to become an eating table while you where sitting on the couch. Shortly after buying it I became pregnant. I haven’t seen that brand new table in 7 years. I made my husband put it away while the kids where young. As far as glass ~ here is a memory from the past. I was in High School and I was babysitting. They had a glass covered coffee table. The phone rang and while I was taking a message I without even thinking leaned on the coffee table with my knee and went right through it. As much as you really want it, it just isn’t worth what can happen. Another thing ~ kids are rough and bang on furniture and it will get destroyed (or one of the kids could get very hurt). Why not wait until they are older and than you can enjoy it without any worries. Good luck!
