Yes. For furniture items such as coffee tables always lift it from the floor and avoid sliding your furniture into position as this may cause undue stress to the product or feet. For items such as dining tables, desks etc; the top would normally be removed first, then, move the base in top the new position and replace the top. If you are unsure please contact our team and we will advise you of the correct procedure for any particular design.

Caring for your glass furniture is easy. If you need to clean the item you only need to dust off the surfaces using a soft cloth. Where stubborn marks appear, use a soft cloth with a mixture of mild soap or liquid detergent, followed by rinsing with a further clean damp cloth before thoroughly drying the item. Please do not use abrasive cleaning materials or contaminated cloths. Use mats to protect the glass from hard materials that may cause scratches to the surface. Should you want to move your furniture then always lift it from the floor. Do not attempt to slide as this may cause undue stress to the product.

We generally use two type of glass to make our furniture – Standard Clear and Extra Clear Glass; both have their own unique appeal and color character. Extra clear glass is becoming more and more popular in glass furniture these days and is given as an alternative option on many of our products for sale through our website. The structural performance of Standard and Extra Clear Glass is exactly the same the only difference is the color/tint.
Standard Clear Glass (Regular Glass) has a slight green tint to the body of the glass and a very dark green edge detail (most of the products you see on our website are photographed with this glass option).
Extra Clear Glass (Starphire Glass) has very little tint to the body of the glass appearing almost completely transparent – the glass edge has a very slight crystal blue/green tint. Please note: that on larger and thicker glasses the tints can become very slightly more prominent
Yes, very strong. All of our Fancy Glass and Mirrors branded glass furniture are produced using toughened glass (unless otherwise stated), sometimes known as ‘tempered’. Many of Fiam and Sovet products which use flat glass are also toughened to the same regulations. Please note that due to the nature of curved/formed glass and the way in which it is produced it is not normally possible to toughened this glass. For this reason fancyglassandmirrors.com only sells the very best glass furniture brands produced by highly specialist designers and manufacturers. These products have been highly tested to ensure they are safe for your home or office.
As with most materials glass can be scratch if miss-used or miss-treated, however glass is a strong material and under normal use our glass furniture should last a lifetime. In fact if you compare other high gloss or transparent materials to glass, glass will greatly out perform all in terms of strength and resilience; making glass an ideal material for furniture.
