Replacing glass top of coffee table

What is Hardyboard? I have a coffee table and matching side table of wrought iron, in which the glass was broken. I wanted to replace the glass, but it would cost way too much. The tables are round. I am trying to think of a way to replace with something other than glass. Any ideas?

Call the local glass store and see what a replacement piece would cost. Do a comparison of that with how much time you want to spend on using the other techniques and/or what yo;u really want the finished product to look like.

Thank you. I did consult a glass store. They cost was very high - much more than I originally paid for both tables. Same is true of plexiglass. I also tried Home Depot thinking I would just replace with wood, but they only do straight cuts and the tables are round. Thanks for your input.

Did you ever hear of a jig saw!

Yes, I have heard of a jigsaw, but have never seen/or used one. Would that do the job if I bought a lengh of plywood?

Jay, Does the glass have to fit in anything like a frame or does it sit on top? I know I have seen pre-made round glass table tops. I am thinking either Walmart or Home Depot or Lowe's.

Sherry, I like the shabby mirror idea.

It fits in a frame
