Once upon a time there was a sheet of glass on the top - it was inserted inside the upper framing. We used to place pics there as the glass would be right on top of it. Cool stuff.

However, while I was getting it out to clean the glass itself the fookin thing dropped [it was heavy]. Now I wonder if I should replace it with another glass, plastic or what's the other item?

Any shots??

glass would be the most scratch resistant. most Lexan / Plexiglass can scratch pretty easily......

I also vote for glass.

Yes Glass. But first / next go find some suction cups. Don't have to be very large. So next time you will not have to pry the glass out.

Harbor Freight sells those suction cups specifically for lifting glass. They're cheap too......cheaper than a new piece of glass probably.

Glass. Plastics like Lexan and Acrylic scratch super easy...

Another vote for glass here.

You might want to think about getting the glass tempered after you get it cut...

it appears I will go for the glass. tempered style is a good idea. Thanks.

I will get it custom cut and be sure to get those suction cups too.
