Lovely glass look table top looks like glass
The glass look table top that was made fitted perfectly on top of my hall dresser and fooled most people into thinking that it was real glass. I'm really pleased with it. It was made quickly and we were fortunate to live nearby to collect it.

Great but double check
Cut exactly as measured using the instruction online.
Fast delivery
My only issue was we ordered a sample first and fell in love with the colour (brass) only to realise when it arrived that the brass we had loved was actually the back of the sample. It was more antique than the actual colour and when the back is also a brass colour it can cause obvious confusion.
