| Considering this coffee table for our living room. We have 5yo dd and 2yo dd. They would be playing in the vicinity of the table quite often. I thought it would be good with kids since it's so heavy and rounded edge but have seen some reviews otherwise. Any personal experiences ? |

| We have the glass top one. Our DDs are 2.5 yrs old and 12 months old. It's not a problem. There's no running in the living room. They get reminded of that on a regular basis. I say "No running in the living room" and "Watch your head" a lot. Nobody's lost an eye yet. |

| No personal experience but it seems like a costly investment, not to mention I would never put a glass table around my kids. |

| No safety problems but my daughter did put a few scratches and dings in the glass when she banged some toys/rattles on them. |

Same here with our glass top coffee table. Also is it worth it to continually have to remind them to watch out for the table? |

| We considered it and decided against. We will buy one in a couple years. |

We got the table before we got the kids, so .... It's really not a huge problem. The living room is for the grownups. The playroom is for the kids. If they have to bonk their heads a few times to learn to be careful in the grownup room, so be it. |

| Op here - Thanks for all the input ! Sounds like we should probably wait... I just have to avoid the temptation by not shopping at Design within Reach !!! |

| Mine has been in storage since my son was born 5.5 years ago. Now we have this instead: http://www.cb2.com/peekaboo-clear-coffee-table/f699 The noguchi will come out of storage after our renovation when it can be in the formal living room. |

Op here - Thanks, I like the look of the cb2 table. Are the edges of the acrylic sharp ? |
