Thoughts on.....glass top coffee table and kiddies?
I still can't find a coffee table because I am uneasy about this combination. Figure I would ask the experts. 
I yearn for a glass-top coffee table with a display case on the inside.....but not sure if it's a good idea.

Well, let's just say my parents had one and when I was 13 I was goofing around with my friends and I fell backwards into it and it shattered taking off 2 inches of flesh from my back, 1/4 inch from severing my spinal cord. I have a huge nasty scar which took 3 months to heal and the dr at the ER said I was lucky it didn't cut closer or I could have been paralyzed.
I freak out at glass coffee tables near kids now.

I wouldnt do it. I accidentally broke my ILs glass top coffee table (one where the class sits in the middle of wood) and I barely touched it. I was PG at the time and It almost came crashing on my feet and I had no shoes on.
If you already had one prior to kids then I can understand , but I wouldnt get one now that I have a kid.

I have a glass coffee table and 2 glass end tables in my LR and my kids never touch it or really go in there.

We have a 3/4" thick glass coffee table - round edges - and except for some normal wear & tear scratches, no incident. Which is not to say I didn't want the thing in storage when Charlie was learning to walk...but amazingly, she never hurt herself on it.
