buying another table set or if they are really good, they might be able get hold of another table in 12 weeks or
however long it takes to get a shipping container over when all you need is just the table glass.

Smashed Garden Table Glass

What thickness do I need for my Patio Table Glass Replacement?

Typical thickness in UK glass production is either 4mm or 6mm, commonly when replacing customers opt for 6mm for a bit more integrity than the standard 4/5mm which most tables are supplied with. We advise having the edges polished, as the toughening furniture stamp can be neatly applied to the edge. Unpolished edges on the glass won't cut you, but unpolished glass is commonly used if the glass is being recessed into the frame. Also if unpolished, you will have a 'face' toughening stamp on the glass.

What if I need a hole in my glass for a parasol?

Of course if you need a new hole for your parasol, they are typically 50mm in diameter and placed centrally in the glass, however some are larger, so please contact us if they are, as the cost increases.

My Garden Table Glass was a solid Black or Brown colour before, what are my options for replacement? Back paint your glass with our DIY tips, save money!

Many patio table sets have coloured or tinted glass, we commonly assist in offering black, brown and other solid colour options if needed. The tinted colours are either a bronze of a smoked grey, contact us directly for a price as these are only available in 6mm thickness and are more expensive than clear toughened glass.

We do suggest that customers can save money buy purchasing the clear glass, then back painting when you receive it. This not only saves money, but will mean the production time on the glass is lessened. To paint the glass we advise purchasing an oil based eggshell paint, apply several coats over a few days (or until you're happy with the result) with a gloss roller or similar. You won't see any brush or roller marks once the layers have been built up.

Once painting has ended, consider applying a varnish to help seal the paint, this also helps to protect against weathering on the table. As the painted side is the underside of the glass, so it will look as new once you've finished. Simple, and cost effective for replacing your rattan table glass. As a comparison, the cost of production facility back painting is typically a minimum charge of approx £120. Exact prices are based on the area of the glass required and so vary accordingly.

How can I order a Replacement Piece of Glass?

Typically all you need to know is the width and length, these can be input into our glass calculator, the thickness is typically 4mm or 6mm, so select the option that best suits. As mentioned we advise selecting the polished edges YES, then if you have require a central hole for your parasol, just select 1 from the drop down menu. That's it for the glass, just select whether you wish to collect your glass from us in Chippenham, or select the relevant drop down delivery option that suits you.

What happens once I've placed my Table Glass order?

If having a Table Glass Delivery;

A date for delivery can ONLY be provided once the glass is ready and out of production, this timescale is variable. On average 10 working days from production commencing is approx, however the type of glass and the location for delivery do extend this approximate timescale.

We are NOT able to provide a definitive time of arrival prior to the date of delivery. The driver will contact you on the day of delivery, approx 1 hour before arrival. We will do what we can to keep you updated. Deliveries are made on weekdays only.

Please be aware that the driver will need to meet yourself or a representative to assist in unloading of the glass. We deliver to curb side, meaning that we don't take glass upstairs, lifts etc.

The glass arrives NAKED this is typical in the glass industry. This enables us to keep costs down, and avoid contributing to environmental waste. Equally it enables you to check the glass thoroughly before signing that you are happy to accept the glass in the state it arrived.

Once signed for you have agreed to accept the glass in the condition it has arrived, and we can not take responsibility after that point.

If wanting to Collect your Table Glass;

If you are collecting your glass, we will email to confirm once it is ready.

You will need to bring suitable materials for protecting the glass in transit.

It is your responsibility to check and sign for the glass before you leave.

Please be aware there are no guarantees/warranties provided for glass, as it is a breakable product.

Your table glass doesn't have to be a standard shape or size either, circular tables and bespoke tables with unusual shapes are where our experience lies, so if you have a any questions don't hesitate to get in contact, we'll get your rattan furniture looking as good as new. If you have an oval shaped table, consider checking our guide to measuring here.

Typical thickness in UK glass production is either 4mm or 6mm, commonly when replacing customers opt for 6mm for a bit more integrity than the standard 4/5mm which most tables are supplied with.

White Stone Dining Table

White Stone Dining Table

I love working on home furniture and like giving tips to others.

Our old 6' x 3' table that seated six.

Our old 6' x 3' table that seated six.

 Our new 4'x8' table that seats 8–10.

Our old 6' x 3' table that seated six.

I remember we bought our 6-foot pine table when our first child was born. It seemed enormous to us! Two young people and a tiny baby, why did we buy so big?

Well, roll on another 16 years and not only are there more kids, but they are huge and their friends are huge and, quite frankly, that enormous 6-foot table became way too small!

I looked into new tables. But with three active boys, I didn't want something so fine that I'd always be fretting about glass marks, spills, and scratches. I also didn't particularly want to drop a grand or two on a piece of furniture.

But we found a solution for a beautiful new table that is so easy and inexpensive, it's just ridiculous!

Make Your Existing Table Bigger With a 4' x 8' Board

Simply overlay your existing table with a larger board that has an attractive veneer on one face—this is birch. Stain and gloss the top to match the existing legs (or stain and gloss the legs too like we did).

The entire project including stain and gloss came in under $100, plus a few hours of my time. Five years down the road, it's still serving us well. And we have not outgrown it!

how-to-make-your-dining-table-bigger

Materials Needed

  • 1 4' x 8' plywood board (with veneer on one side)
  • 4 lengths of wood, each 1" x 1" x 2' long
  • 2 short pieces of wood, 4" x 1" x 1"
  • 2 2" nails
  • wood edging tape (see link below)
  • wood glue
  • wood stain and wood gloss of your choice
The unfinished 8' x 4' plywood board.

You'll need four struts of wood approximately 1" x 1" x 2'.

The unfinished 8' x 4' plywood board.

How to Make Your Dining Room Table Bigger With a 4' x 8' Board

Here's the step-by-step process:

Step 1: Decide on the Right Size

Choose how large you want your table to be. (Keep in mind that it must work proportionally with your existing table's legs.) The boards are sold 4' x 8', but you can ask to have it cut down if you want it smaller.

Note: You must get a board that has a veneer (such as birch) on one side.

Step 2: Glue Wood to the Underside of Your Board

Now take your four 2' lengths of wood and glue them to the underside (non-veneer side) of your board in an open rectangle so that when the board is laid on top of the table, the table will fit reasonably snugly. It doesn't have to be a tight fit, a little space OK to prevent slippage. Measure carefully because you want it set on straight. (See diagram.)

Step 3: Nail the Struts

Take the two 2" nails and nail the two 4" struts to the center of each of the two long struts running along the two longer edges of the board. (See diagram at right.) This will allow you to pivot each small strut and "lock" the board onto the table so that it cannot be tipped up accidentally. You will need to look carefully at your own table and think this through, making any adjustments necessary, as every table is different.

Step 4: Measure the Board and Apply Wood Edging Tape

Place the board on the table, veneer side up, and measure the total edge of your board. Apply the wood edging tape, following the manufacturer's directions. (This is usually a process that involves ironing on the tape in order to dissolve the pre-applied adhesive.)

Step 5: Stain and Gloss the Board

Transform your board and its new wood trim with a beautiful wood stain of your choosing. Again keep in mind the look and color of the existing table's legs. Can you stain those to match? We did! When you are happy with the color, finish it with two coats of polyurethane, gloss, or semi-gloss, again your choice of finish. (You can also buy stain and gloss all-in-one to save time.)

Struts hold the board in place on the old table (viewed from below).

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on May 02, 2012:

Thanks for the comments, everybody!

Good point, Marcy (that I probably should have made myself!) that this larger tabletop can be added and taken away as needed. Always good to have that option for larger groups.

ANd yes, Cyndi10, the ever-shrinking desk (like my ever-shrinking jeans...), I'm sure it would work well for this too.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing, janikon and summerberrie!

summerberrie on May 02, 2012:

poowool5, this is such a great hub for how to expand your table. I really enjoyed reading it and the do it yourself pictures were perfect!

janikon on May 02, 2012:

Very clever and inexpensive idea. Voted up and shared.

Cynthia B Turner from Georgia on May 02, 2012:

Clever, Clever idea. You took a lot of time with those instructions, too. Maybe something similar would work on my desk which seems to be shrinking! Good hub.

Marcy Goodfleisch from Planet Earth on May 02, 2012:

I cracked up at your "Doesn't that apron make me look fat?" comment!

Seriously - I love this hub! I've been trying to figure a way to 'expand' my petite dining table that's bigger on looks than on function. I hadn't thought of adding the underside braces to make a false top more stable. I would probably use it now and then (rather than all the time), but I sure do need it when I need it.

Voted up, useful, awesome and interesting! And shared!

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on April 28, 2012:

Whoops, sorry to be late getting back to your question, PJ. I bought the plywood from our local old-fashioned lumber store, the kind with a lumberyard out back. I am surprised Lowes didn't sell these. Perhaps try calling a few places to ask in advance so you don't have wasted trips. Hope you can locate it. What I smugly enjoy most is the comments of my friends with expensive tastes as they admire it, not realizing it didn't cost me an arm and a leg!

PJ on April 18, 2012:

Great idea! This is JUST what I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing! One question - where did you buy your plywood board? I checked my local home improvement store (Lowe's) but didn't come across any with a veneer on one side. Thanks again for sharing your wonderful idea!

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 31, 2012:

Thanks for the comment, Robie. You know, for little money, it really can give a table a new lease of life. I didn't think we would keep it for so long, but it still looks good after years of daily use, so you know, if it ain't broke...

Today we dyed Easter eggs right on the table, no protective newspaper etc...guess not much gets through a couple coats of polyurethane, because it didn't affect the table at all. And that's what I need with three boys...ROBUST furniture ;)

Thanks for the comment!

Robie Benve from Ohio on March 31, 2012:

Great idea! I have an old table that on top of being small, has some water damage, we keep it in the (non-used) dining room for the kid's homework, and this plywood board treatment may be just what it needs. Thanks for sharing, and I love the pictures, very helpful! Ciao

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 12, 2012:

Thanks Steph and Jennifer. I thought either it would wear down or I'd tire of it by now, but not so (pic above is current, ie. 5 years after making it)!

jenniferg78 from Philadelphia, PA on March 12, 2012:

This is a great idea and the picture illustration are really helpful. +useful

Stephanie Marshall from Bend, Oregon on March 11, 2012:

Great idea and totally rated up! I have 4 kids and it seems like the table is never big enough. Then, if any of my friends come over with their kids... ugh! Nice tips and easy to do. Rated up - Steph

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 11, 2012:

Thanks Lizam1. The board is only 3/4" thick, so, yes, the table would be higher, but only by 3/4". Not really noticeable.

Lizam1 on March 10, 2012:

Nice idea - one question does laying the board on top make the table an odd height?

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 10, 2012:

Thanks for commenting, Liz! Sometimes it's the simple things that have the biggest impact!

lizlauder from Western New York on March 10, 2012:

This is such a great idea! And it looks beautiful.

poowool5 (author) from here in my house on March 10, 2012:

Thanks cloverleaffarm, anything to save a few bucks, right? Actually, I find it hugely satisfying to pull off a DIY job like this. A little domestic pride :)

Healing Herbalist from The Hamlet of Effingham on March 10, 2012:

Great job on both the hub, and the table. Voted up and useful!

Outdoor Furniture Ideas to Makeover Your Space

Beautiful wooden terrace with garden furniture surrounded by greenery on a warm, summer day

For Napping

Take your naps outdoors. Spring for a cozy hanging chair or porch swing. They're so comfortable, people won't notice they're dozing off. Hammocks are also a great place to take a nap and come in different options such as ergonomic hammocks or extra wide.

Lounge for hours on an outdoor sofa. They are just as great as indoor sofas for a nap. You can purchase them online and they're easy to set up. Don't forget to add pillows to any piece for extra comfort.

For Eating

You can have more than a picnic table outside. On your dining set, place centerpieces filled with all sorts of snacks like chopped veggies, popcorn, chips, or candy. Instead of the typical plant centerpiece, the snack centerpieces will pop out. The centerpieces can also be jars of pickled vegetables.

Set up a s'mores bar near the fire-pit by having jars of graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate and a chic display of sticks ready.

Now you can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner in the great outdoors.

For Parties

There's more to outdoor furniture than just a set of chairs and a table. Backyards can be a great area to make an outdoor living room. Create a movie theater with a projector outside. When guests are over, make sure to put together and provide extra comfortable seating such as a sofa or blankets and pillows on the ground. For seating, you can also place pallets on the ground and cover them with cushions. Project the movie on the side of your house or a set up a screen.

Small cinema with retro projector in the garden

Make transporting drinks, bottles, and glasses easier with a bar cart. Now the drinks are portable. Would you rather have the refreshments remain in one place? Tables these days can incorporate a cooler below or in the middle. Now you can have two pieces of furniture in one. Get these cooler tables at a store or you can build one yourself.

Fire pits can be built by hand, bought online or at the home and garden section of stores. Some fire pits can be transformed into a table if you're running out of space. They are a perfect attraction for light, warmth, and s'mores. Have weatherproof chairs surround the firepit or place them near the firepit.

One last thing you could add to your backyard is a dog pool. Imagine how fun it would be to have a dog party.

For A Personal Getaway

This is for people who want to make their space a little more private or a place to recharge. People usually build privacy walls to avoid being seen. Privacy walls can be sheer shades, a divider made of wooden planks, or a trellis netting with vines or another green plant. These products help promote quiet time and coziness.

Bring the garden onto your porch or balcony. Make a relaxing and natural atmosphere with plants, water, and rocks.

Turn a small or large shelf into an outdoor library or a spot to make room for your other activities (scrapbooking, listening to a music collection, drawing, etc). Add a door to the shelf to help protect the materials from the weather and animals. This can be a do-it-yourself project or you can get them at flea markets.

Beds come in all shapes and sizes. You can add one to the corner of a balcony, patio or in the middle of the backyard. Use the bed to curl up with a book or for your other hobbies. You can also add a canopy for protection from the weather and sun. If there's more space include a small coffee table and rug for a homey touch.

Sophie Glass Dining Table

Sophie Glass Dining Table

A YOUNG woman got the fright of her life when she came downstairs to find that her glass dining-table had shattered into a million pieces.

Sophie Fox took to TikTok to show her followers the extent of the damage to her glass table, claiming it randomly exploded in the middle of the night whilst she was sleeping.

Sophie hopes to warn others out there bout the danger of owning a glass table

Sophie hopes to warn others out there bout the danger of owning a glass table

The video serves as a warning for others to be wary about pieces of glass furniture – no matter how stylish they look.

Sophie said in the comments that she found shards of glass sprawled over the floor, as well as her computer monitor, after hearing it shatter.

Luckily for her the monitor didn't smash.

People were baffled as to how this could've happened, asking Sophie if it was already broken in some way.

She replied: "I've never really used it and it only had some minor surface scratches!"

Viewers flocked into the comments to get to the bottom of the mystery, some pointing out that her computer might have been to blame.

One user said: "If you had your computer on that table on all night running, the heat would have created that shattering table!"

Although one person commented: "It's called thermal shock. Normally a change in heat."

Most people concluded for themselves that the incident must have resulted from an unusual amount of heat.

Luckily Sophie's computer monitor survived the crash landing

But Sophie took everything in jest, saying that she had almost predicted the incident happening – now that is spooky.

Sophie even replied to one person, saying: "I had visions of it happening on a work call and everything just going flying!"

However, this incident has definitely been a lesson for Sophie as she swears off ever buying a glass table again.

A person commented: "That is why I refuse to own a glass table. They might look good. But they're dangerous."

Sophie replied: "Wood for me from now on!"

Sophie is yet to get to the bottom of the mystery, but rest assured she'll be thinking twice about what dining-table to buy next.

Creative kitchen seating ideas

Layout ideas

We all know that there is nothing worse than shrinking an already small kitchen space with unnecessarily large and chunky seating, especially if it is barely used.

So, if you're in a tight space, or aren't sure which seating solution is best for your large kitchen, then we've got some great ways for you to rest your legs in style with our creative seating concepts.

Breakfast bar

Breakfast bar

Placing a breakfast bar in your kitchen – like the gorgeous Handleless Kitchen in Periwinkle and White – can help you create a natural seating area whilst avoiding the bulky, space-consuming expense of a full kitchen table.

Place a few stools behind the breakfast bar and you've got yourself an easy kitchen seating area that looks sleek and sophisticated. Make sure you think about how you'll incorporate lights over this area too, as you don't want your family to be forced to eat in the dark! Suspended pendant lights are a popular choice, but there are plenty of innovative ways and ideas you can explore to illuminate your breakfast bar.

Window seating

Window seating

If you are lucky enough to have snagged that beautiful top floor apartment, with its slanting roofs and great views, then you may find it a struggle to fit seating into, what is often, a tiny kitchen.

Fortunately, kitchen windows can make for great seating areas. Installing a small window seat and placing some cushions, perhaps even a small folding table next to it, could be your ideal solution; enabling you to create your very own kitchen seating area. A window seat will provide a lovely seating space with an abundance of natural light, creating an open and airy feeling.

Reduced height cabinets

Reduced height cabinets

Another huge issue in kitchen design is finding space for enough storage; between appliances and furniture it can be hard for a small kitchen to have enough room for a seating area, as well as enough storage space.

By reducing the height of some of your storage cabinets you could kill two birds with one stone. The top of the cabinet can be used as casual seating with cushions. making it comfortable and homey, whilst a cabinet or drawers below can create further kitchen storage.

These cabinets are great for a casual coffee with friends, or a perfect kitchen seating area for kids!

Indented your island

Add a booth into your alcove

If you have an alcove in your kitchen, make the most of that extra space by adding in booth kitchen seating. Inspired by American diners, they're ideal for spaces that otherwise wouldn't be able to host a table; whilst still remaining a relaxing and laid-back vibe. If you're having friends and families over, consider adding a freestanding bench as an extra seating option.

Indented your island

If your kitchen has a large amount of open space, an island could be a beautiful and stylish addition to your kitchen design. And, for a big family, this will give you extra dining space that you will really value.

By indenting your kitchen island underneath, you can create enough space to fit stools for adding seating. This handy bunker of space will also double as a storage area. When the stools aren't in use you can simply tuck them away under your island, to keep your kitchen seats hidden. Excess space and seating all in one; brilliant!
