I also asked them to sand the edges so that It will not cut hands. I called a local car window repair shop and ordered 1/4in plate glass 1/16th in smaller than the opening. Once the top was glued and screwed together I screwed it to the base using the kreg jig on the backs of the legs where it would not be noticeable.

After you cut the pieces for the top and make sure that they are going to fit together the way you want them too, router the individual pieces so that the glass will fit in there flush. It is better to be too big and cut again or sand than to have it too small. When you are measuring the pieces for the top, make sure you measure right. I used the kreg jig mentioned in the parts step to fasten the four sides of the top together and this worked remarkably well. But after much trial and error I was able to fashion a good looking top. I do not have a lot of experience cutting miters I am not a born carpenter.
