Default Toughened glass shelves

A while ago I asked about suppliers of toughened glass shelves, but
everywhere I went wanted an arm and both legs for specials. I
re-designed the project to use some "off the shelf" shelves from Ikea
that were listed as 600x350x10. Today I drove a 40 mile round trip
(and spent about 2 hours) to buy them and guess what - they bl**dy
well aren't 10mm thick - they come as a pack of 2 and the *pack* is
10mm, the glass is 4 or 5mm. Bl**dy Ikea!

I'm back to my original quest - where can I get some 8 or 10mm thick
toughened glass shelves (about 550x350) at a sensible price?


Glue the two together?
You can get super glue for glass *if* you can get them together without
trapping air.

Hmm, good lateral thinking but the front edge and much of the side edges
will be on display. I'm also going to put an LED strip along the back so
they need to be a single piece of glass.



It seems that you want an unusual, high quality, one-off bespoke product
but are not prepared to pay for it.

£32 each for eight of these sounds like a reasonable price.
