Would acrylic nesting tables be a practical alternative to glass coffee table?
i have a coffee table that is wood with a glass top and i hate how loud it is when i put something on top of it and i'm paranoid to break it. but i really love the look of all acrylic nesting tables in a modern room and am debating about purchasing them, but i wonder if i and my clumsy guest friends would be too scared to use them. the acrylic things that i own are not furniture but they are pretty indestructible. opinions? insight?

Acrylic is softer than glass so will produce a less brittle sound when stuff hits it. On the other hand, coasters and place mats were (at least partly) invented to deal with clunking and clanking. Of course, being softer, it is more likely to show scratches.
