My wife and I would like to replace the glass in our coffee and end tables with something other than glass. I thought this might be something that other people have done in the past but I cannot find any info on the net. I thought of using 20″ X 20″ porcelain tile but it may be too heavy and Lowes does not have a wet saw big enough to cut it (you would think they would but they don’t - at least at my local Lowes). I’m looking for something light but sturdy. Other suggestions have been fiberboard covered with some sort of leather cover. I’d really appreciate some info if anyone has done this or has good ideas. Thanks!

Antony G asked:


I am in the process of setting up a small furniture making business and I need to know how do you go about sending coffee tables etc that are not flat- packed. I would imagine that you would bubble-wrap the items and then get a freight company like Fedex to pick them up. Is it that easy? Should I consider putting these type of items in crates. The coffee tables I have made would be sent out lndividually to customers. They are not overly expensive and really not that large. But would Fedex etc accept this type of furniture without being crated.

If it is OK to send just by bubble-wrapping, what is the best way to do this to ensure the items does not get damaged?
I would also be sending out the coffee tables etc to international customers.
