Powell 45-Inch Round Glass Table Top 8mm with 1-Inch Bevel Edge

My table cracked and a big piece fell out the night before Thanksgiving. I was having relatives for the holidays and needed a replacement before December 20th. I checked with about 8 glaziers in the NYC area but found their prices to be very expensive without delivery or that they didn't have the size I needed or they had the size but not the beveled edge. I did a search on Amazon and found exactly what I was looking for and at a wonderful price. I got fast and free delivery. Perfect!!

It was extremely hard to determine if this was tempered glass.

The price is good, however when I determined that it was not tempered glass I attempted to cancel my order with Amazon. The response was that the were not able to cancel the order even though it had not yet shipped and the earliest delivery was estimated at over 10 days away from the cancellation request date? However they were gracious to suggest that I refuse delivery.

For safety reasons just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that this is not tempered glass - I would hate to see a child hurt by and accident with furniture glass.

The only reason why I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I had to order this item twice which was a bit of a hassle because the first one arrived completely broken. Thankfully, the delivery truck guy could also hear the broken glass inside the box and recommended that I refuse delivery. Eventually after speaking with Amazon they ordered a replacement to be sent out and it arrived less than a week later. It fit perfectly onto my Crate & Barrel table and the glass itself is pretty thick/heavy, and so I don't forsee any issues with cracking or anything like that in the near future.

Overall it was a good buy, but as with any online purchases, you have to consider the risks of ordering something breakable/fragile and how willing you are to potentially deal with a return/exchange as a trade-off for saving some money. I'd say if you want a new table top immediately, spend the extra money to buy it locally. Otherwise, if you're willing to wait a couple weeks, order...Read more
