Lofty living:
Dorel Living Bronx glass top and rustic oak dining table
This table’s tempered glass top is offset by the industrial chic of the rustic oak legs and chunky bronze fixing details. The architectural charm is backed up by sturdy pedestal construction while the glass top is held in place by its own weight and rubber pads. And the glass top means no one can pocket your silverware.
