Is it ok for a glass table top to sit directly on wood or does the wood need to breathe?

The wood needs to breathe. If you can't get felt pads (they come in little packets at a home improvement store like Home Depot or Lowes or even the Dollar Store), a penny in each corner would work. -

The wood will breathe through the bottom or sides if it needs to eric -

Little clear silicone pads will be more attractive and serve the same purpose. Allow wood to breathe and keep glass from sliding around. Link attached from Home Depot. I am sure they are available elsewhere. Hope this helps.Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.Adhesive 3/8 in.

I have had a glass cut to fit on both a dresser and coffee table. It sits directly on the wood. I take it off a few times a year and polish the wood. But no problem at all sitting directly on the wood.
