Big Enough Base
As a general rule, a glass tabletop should not overhang its base by more than one-third of its width. That means that a 54-inch-diameter glass table should sit atop a base that’s at least 18 inches in diameter, allowing for a maximum of 18 inches of overhang at all sides of the base.
Is width the same as diameter?
The diameter is the same as the length or width of any circle. No further calculation is required.

How much overhang should a table top have?
The overhang of a table is simply how much the table top projects out beyond the legs or base of the table. Too little of an overhang can make a table look stubby, while too much can make it look almost precarious! Table top overhangs of 2 to 4 inches are quite standard, and give a proportional look to the table.
