BE Accent Table Base

[David Jenkins]

Has anyone had experience with this table?

The top is 15" x 18", supported on the four sides, but with no support in the center. The glass will rest on a 1" lip.

What I'm wondering is this: will a two-layer layup (6mm) produce a piece that's strong enough to stand up to the weights resulting from normal patio use? A couple of glasses, maybe a few beer cans, maybe a plate of munchies?

Or do I need to make a 9mm top?

Thanks.

I'd think that as long as you didn't slam your glasses down you'd be fine with 1/4" (6mm). 15" span isn't that big.
But consider the added depth you could play with if you went for the extra layer....
