Hey everyone, new user here! sort of anyway (first time posting).

Iv just built my first home entertainment unit, I had alot of fun so i thought i try my hand at coffee table. Now iv got the design all done, but im trying to do it cheaply as possible. So iv been ringing around trying find the cost of tempered glass top to finish the pieces off. But the prices seem extremely steep from what i can gather. A 1300mmx700x6mm tempered glass quotes where around $305. which is too much for my budget. But iv noticed glass panels for pools 1300x700x12mm are around $66 from bunnings. Even if the glass is laminated instead of tempered is that going to be much of a problem? I can also always sand the edges to get better look. I was wondering from all your experience if this is a good idea or a bad one and what draw backs i might have? any advice would be great.

thanks everyone
