Is there any reason this wouldn't work? Assuming it is thick enough? I am talking about the kind of glass found in glass table or coffee tables.
 
Tabe top glass is usually rounded or beveled so unless you are cutting the glass I would say its probably not safe
 
I would probably be cutting it. My thought is I can get big sheets of glass from tables for around $50 off craigslist. Even with having it cut it would still be cheaper than buying glass.
 
Then as long as its not tempered it will be fine
 
usually tinted tho, something to consider... probably tempered/toughened too i would think.
