How to Assemble a Glass Coffee Table
Are you looking for a stylish addition to your living room, or a way to spruce up your office? Putting together your own glass coffee table could be the answer. By following a few simple steps, you’ll soon be enjoying your own unique statement piece.
Things You’ll Need
- Glass coffee table
- Screws, bolts, and tools
- Padding for the glass
Step 1: Unpackage the Parts Immediately
When your parts arrive, carefully unpackage and inspect them. Glass can be hard to transport without becoming scratched or damaged, so make sure everything is in good condition. If there are any issues, consider returning the item before you get to work.
Step 2: Begin Installing Pieces
Start by assembling the legs, or braces, of the table. Work from the bottom up, bolting and screwing each piece together until the structure is complete. Remember to cross-thread your screws and bolts for added security.
Step 3: Insert the Glass
Once the frame is assembled, it will be time to insert the glass. Add padding to the top of the frame to protect the glass and make sure it sits securely. Then, gently position the glass table top into place, and make sure the frame is snug.
Step 4: Check Stability
Finally, make sure the glass is firmly held in place. Give the table a few light taps with your hand to test the stability. If it feels wobbly, re-tighten the screws and bolts until it feels secure.
You’re now ready to enjoy your new glass coffee table! With a little bit of planning and patience, you can put together a beautiful piece of furniture that shows off your personal style.
