This is unique design. It serves dual purpose.
My questions : 1. I do not see any fasterner to hold the glass tabletop. Won’t it slip away?

2. How easy is it to change the folwers bouqet if you need to?

That is a nice idea to solve the question: What to do with a glass table top? Looks very nice.

Thanks for the comments. The table is held in place with clear rubber door bumpers (the balls on top of the posts are flattened slightly on the top for that purpose. They keep it from moving around in combination with the weight of the glass. The glass top can be removed easily by two people, or one if you can reach across the top. Two is much safer and you are less likely to chip it when setting it down.

It could also be made where one of the fence sections is hinged like a door. This was an afterthought. On the next one I build, I may try it. You could leave the joinery the same for structural support and hinge the slats or make the slats removable with a magnet and a dowel for alignment. There are several different ways to modify the access.

Like many others, after I built it I had several other ideas to make it better by expanding it a little for easier access to the inside. Such is life…
