Are glass-top straight desks practical for office use?

Glass-top desks look striking and feel modern, but come with real practical trade-offs. Tempered glass is strong and safe, but it scratches with regular use — keys, rings, and even vigorous mouse movements leave marks over time. Glass surfaces are cold to touch, show fingerprints and smudges constantly, and require more cleaning effort to maintain their appearance. Mouse tracking can be inconsistent on glass without a mousepad. Reflections under certain lighting conditions can be annoying with a monitor directly behind. For a desk that's primarily a style statement in a light-use setting, glass can be beautiful. For everyday heavy office use, a commercial-grade laminate surface is more practical.
