Nephew vs Coffee Table

[Gubert]

Long story short, my nephew was doing cartwheels in the living room and somehow put his foot straight through our glass coffee table top. Insurance won’t cover it since it’s technically our fault for not supervising better. Now I need a replacement cut to the exact same odd oval shape, which apparently isn’t something you just grab off a shelf. Any leads on custom glass makers who do table tops?

Ouch, that sounds painful for both the table and your nerves. We had something similar when my brother’s kid threw a toy car that cracked our glass dining table. Turns out our table was also an odd shape, some weird rounded rectangle that definitely wasn’t standard. Ended up going with a company that does custom glass work, link: areas we cover and they were able to match the exact dimensions from the broken pieces. Took about a week and the new top looks even better than the original. Insurance didn’t cover ours either, but the quote was reasonable.
