Glass Table Top and Trolley Recommendations
Refer Tables 1 and 2 below.
There are several factors to consider when supporting glass in tables and trolleys:

if glass is horizontally moved to extreme positions in any direction, its edges must simultaneously overlap all supports by a minimum of 6mm;

when glass is supported on cushioning pads, the minimum horizontal area of each support shall be 36mm2;

under no circumstances should glass be in contact with glass, metal surfaces, stone etc. Plastic protectors, bump-ons or other suitable spacers should be used.
