Thinking of using this as a combination storage box AND table. How rounded is the top? Will drink glasses too easily slide off it?

I use mine for a table top!! I took a piece of plexiglass cut it to the length and width of the top cut two pcs of wood screwed them on front and back of the plexi glass to make it set level>and just lift it off whenever! works great!!!!

You could put a glass on the box, but I would not do that. The lid is not flat enough for me to be comfortable it would not fall off. Hence, I would not use it as a table. It is certainly OK to put something that doesn't break on it.

To round for a table top. The glasses would probably slide off or at best be unstable.

R, not good for table it is rounded enough for drinks to fall. it is on our deck and the SUN has made our lid flatten out, large storage and must use lock or tie to keep lid from opening. not my choice to purchase again.

No good, top has a curve in it from front to back, and grooves to drain the water. You might be able to stand a beer right in the middle, but I would be very careful. Hope this helps.

Hi, I actually sent it back almost immediately. It looked great but was not sturdy enough for my use. With a lack of weight, almost every time I pulled a drawere it almost tipped the unit. I found a much heavier and tawler option with glass doors to hold my CDs and I would not be pulling out drawers. Hope this helps.

It comes to you unassembled in flat-packed cardboard. There are two pieces of glass for top and bottom shelves that are in molded Styrofoam, so I would recommend you not unpack the box, but get some cord or rope to devise a handle and carry it that way. It would be difficult to pack in in a suitcase and get the same protection for the glass. By the way, I did the assembly myself, but it would be easier with a second pair of hands. It is very attractive and will fit into any contemporary or modern environment.

yes. it is not the flattest smoothest surface but you can place a glass on the table. some people get a piece of plexiglass cut to fit the table top but I did not. otherwise the table worx as advertised.

I attached this unit to my dry wall ceiling with anchors and regular screws. There are up to 12 glasses on the rack at any time and so far it has not crashed from the ceiling. I think it has to be attached as the picture shows since there is nothing to prevent glasses from sliding either side. Like if you drill it into a wall, the glasses would slide out the bottom. Plus the glass ware would be resting on each other and that could cause the stems to break.

The table top is not the best built. Ours has become a little loose. I wouldn't recommend putting something super heavy on.

The top is fairly flat, but slightly curved. I use ours in our not so formal living room, as a pop of color table next to a leather reading chair. I have placed a cup of tea, glass of wine, plastic tumbler of ice water without any trouble.

I'll check it out when I get home tonight or tomorrow. I use mine to hold all my coffee mugs. I'd imagine it would do great with wine glasses. It is really good about not tipping over even if you've emptied one side.

It is flat, but it is not smooth. The bottom is made up of what is meant to look like individual sticks pressed together. The "ridges and valleys" are about an eighth of an inch. We set glasses on it all the time with no risk of spill. We are very pleased with the quality of ours for the price.

I think the lip around the top would be it awkward to be used as an end table. If you do use it that, make sure you use a coaster.

It is almost as wide as the top of the nightstand, as you can see in the picture and it will pull out as far as the depth of the top of the nightstand, but when it is pulled out all the ... obviously there is nothing supporting the outer edge portion ... so I wouldn't place anything extremely heavy on the outer edge. Also, the shelf will slant downward slightly so nothing extremely breakable should be set on outer edge when pulled out. I tend to set cups, glasses, etc. more toward the back so they don't slide which might cause a mishap but I love the nightstand. It was a great purchase and well worth the slightly pricey cost.

It lays flat when glass side down. If flat it will wiggle. And there is a slight curve.

I am using a wine barrel cut in half length wise with these hinges for a lifting top. I'm not usuing glass. But I really think if you were to do that with a glass top and like a wine bottle storage underneath the glass it would look awsome.

The lid does have a slight raised curve on it, so I would say "no". I think the top one would definitely slide around.

We've used the glass top on a rattan base as our daily meal table in the kitchen. Very stabke and strong. We don't have kids however.

It is very secure and solid, but the shelves are glass, so I would not recommend putting stacks of dishes in it. Displaying plates/cups is better for this type of cabinet.

The table surface top is round. The edge height does vary to allow the legs to fold for storage. I think you could use a glass topper. Would be a great way to display photos or other mementos.
