So I replaced my glass with a full sheet of Acrylic. We had it for 3 years with no issue. Also mine was 1/4" thick. https://www.tapplastics.com/
I got mine from this site and ended up going with a frosted grey. It showe much less scratches than regular.
I recommend putting a tray on top to hold remotes etc. Then put felt bumpers on the tray.
Do not use an abrasive cleaners and use a soft lint free towel. Ours literally last us for 4 years before the scratches became pretty evident but even then it was fine just looked older.
New glass everywhere local was going to cost me more than I paid for the table so I went this route. Also you can get sample pieces from them for like $2.00 each and that way you can look at your color frost options

Mine had middle support so that helped. Mine was 38381/4" and was just flexible enough to fit into the lip on the table.
It didn't warp or bend or anything

i have a middle support too, but ah that’s interesting i dont have a lip, it would just sit on top. i think that should be fine though

It will be more flexible than glass. I would go thicker if possible.

I have a patio roof made of polycarbonate sheets. 1/4” from same tap plastic store in Berkeley. It bends when it is larger than 4 feet across. The sheet I got was a 4x8, so it bends and won’t stay up, so we had to put a wood bar in between and make them 4x4 squares, which are not bending. Why do you want poly for interior and not acrylic (which is more clearer, but is brittle)?
