A hands on favorite.

Traditional glass surfaces can be challenging to keep clean. Often a bit cold to the touch, they are vulnerable to every greasy hand and speck of dust.

With its lightly textured surface, satin-etched glass is resistant to smudges and fingerprints, which is fortunate. With a texture this luxurious, you’ll have a hard time keeping your hands off of it.

You shine. It doesn't.

Since the surface is non-reflective, distracting glares from a TV screen, a computer monitor or the sun’s rays are eliminated, helping you stay focused on the task at hand.

Stands above the rest.

Tempered for safety, the satin-etched glass surface floats above its lower support. This detail is even further highlighted by the glass' gently beveled edge.

Care-less care.

Daily dust is camouflaged by the smooth surface, meaning that satin-etched glass is forgiving of daily wear.

Standard glass cleaner and a soft towel will do the trick when cleaning is needed. If minor scuffs or scratches occur, the surface can easily be refreshed to its original luster.
