Critique: NC:

Decided to make some custom cracked glass nightstands while in between semesters. When getting initial quotes for the glass I was stunned at how much cracked glass cost. the quotes ranges from $500.00 to $780.00 for two pieces. Funny thing is that cheaper quote was from Los Angeles and included shipping. By luck I found this great guy in League City that charged me $200.00 for the pieces with a two day turn around. Here is the result. Still have one more piece of diffusion acrylic that goes underneath that will make everything flush. Like always, I had to add some LED inlay lighting to the mix.

Nicely done! They look great. I never would have guessed the material was that much.

Heck, I could have made you a cracked glass table top for a whole lot less than that. Of course, mine don't stay together after I crack them.
