Is the top of the table covered in glass? Or is it open to the carving? I don't want small bits of dust to get trapped in the carving.

No, there is no glass covering over the carving. There are various stores that you could go to that sell custom cut glass. There is a "ledge" around the design that could hold the glass in place.

Christine, it is glass. And the way it is made, almost makes it appear to be crystal. It is really very pretty. Enjoy!

I had no such problem with either of the 2 tables I ordered (at separate times). You may have to exchange yours. Mine are 1 piece and there's no way the glass could be separated from the table. Sounds like a defect by the manufacturer to me. But I know you'll love yours if this problem is taken care of.

It's either glass or plastic, though I think it is glass. It is certainly not open - one cannot touch the needle.

The glass top is held in by plastic clips. Four of them hold the table legs, then there are four smaller ones in between each leg, so they could be popped out if you wanted to remove the glass.

Yes. This is a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm very happy with my purchase. Very solid. Oh - the other reviewer that responded that there is no carving is correct. I didn't think about that, but it is the same wood and finish.

I am guessing it is wood covered with mirror. I am very happy with the table. It is solid and very pretty. Be careful putting it together. We did crack the drawer when putting on the knob. It still looks great and is barely noticeable.

It is paint on the underneath side of the glass. That is true for the base as well. The table was sent with very poor packing and some of the paint was scratched and removed. We had to apply black tape to cover it up. If it had not been so difficult to return the table, we would have done so.

No, the glass is extremely strong. Love this table and everyone that comes over loves it. Easy to put to together.

I would be afraid of the glass breaking, the table is meant for a square or round top IMHO

I believe its glass pieces. It looks nice but the lights are above the crystals so you don't get the simmering effect I'd hoped...

The table is plastic. It cleans very easily and has held up very well. We use it indoors and outside. It is stored mainly outdoors and has not been damaged by the elements.

Beveled, but the main glass is a two person job, its a little awkward to place on there. The desk has ha 0 issues since building.

What did you inlay with? Directions for the product say wood needs to be sealed to avoid bubbles. I covered a wood table with a glass mosaic, grouted around the glass, sealed with a mosaic sealer and then poured the resin over it. There were still bubbles so I used a crafting propane torch to work out the bubbles which is also explained in the product's instructions. Bubbles are inevitable and need to be "blown" out.

The table is solid wood, not venir. And there is a good clear coat over the stain. No water marks from wet glasses, or bowls, and we've been using the table for over 6 months now.

Sharp enough? It is made of tempered glass. However, you do have the ability to simply take the glass top off and use the table without it. Hope this helps!

I purchased a glass top for it and so far it has held up to the small amount of rain we have received here is California. The bottom of the table is more of a think cardboard so I would think that you will need a glass top.
