Anyone have the Liatorp coffee table?

I would be worried about my kids smashing something into the glass and breaking it.

We have a glass dining room table. It is pretty much the bane of my existence because it is ALWAYS dirty. I hate it.

Yup, and I love it. It has held up well over 6 years. I don't have kids but am a total klutz and spend 95% of my home waking hours on my couch next to the table and eat all of my home meals at it, so I am happy with the quality and don't think it is easily breakable or too high maintenance cleaning-wise. The wood border and the dividers in the drawer seem to make the glass pretty sturdy. Note though: Cora may have a field day with the drawers.

I have the sofa table and buffet stand too. Happy with all of it

@marshmallows has or had Liatorp pieces too.

I like it, but I think with a kid the glass will always have fingerprints and it would bug me.

DH and I were at IKEA last weekend and specifically looked at that coffee table and commented to each other that it would be a disaster waiting to happen in our house. My older kid would try to sit on it and my younger would drop heavy toys on it. No bueno.

I hate glass tables they get finger prints all over and look filthy! When I was in middle school my friend tripped in the living room and smashed the glass coffee table ending up in the ER.
No to glass!

I HATED OUR GLASS coffee table. Hate hate hate for the reason above. We got rid of it and have no coffee table and it is awesome.

Finger prints would make me crazy. I do love the look of it though.

If you get that invest in a norwex glass rag or something and teach Cora how to wipe it clean and how fun that it.

Child labor in my house is wiping the glass table.

We don't have a glass table, but the Norwex cloths would make the fingerprints less of an issue.

We have a very cheap Target coffee table for now.  When the kids stop using it as a play surface, we will get something different.  For now, I love that I don't have to worry about it.
