Amazing find Netty.  I love what you've done to it already. Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.

Frank - that is thick plexi-glass. My husband cut it with a jigsaw and then rounded the edges. It is fastened to the table from the bottom.

Well done! I especially like that you painted it black- that would set off something like bright blue tiles phenomenally!
