Glass bench for HiFi inc Planar 6

[PBrowne]

I am having a wall unit designed and I am looking at a custom made tempered glass bench for the HiFi components including Planar 6 turntable. the glass is both a feature, a stable base and provide transparency similar to other parts of the wall unit.

The bench in the design is 1800mm long x 470mm wide. I am looking at glass about 25mm thick (1") or more.

Opinions on the this, inc the thickness of the glass bench to support these components?

Not sure why you want glass that thick.
I had an Atacama hifi stand that had smoked glass shelves (toughened glass) and they were less than 1/4 inch thick.
The fact your design is so long means it would need some lateral supports and glass isn't one of the best bases for hifi kit.
