IIRC, a table top should really be made of safety glass which is usually
toughened, and this has to have the edges ground before the tempering
process.



Hi. Yup, I dont think its smart to use float glass in tabletops. If
you must cut costs you could use laminated glass, but really not
float. What happens if someone sits on that doesnt bear thinking
about.
