Heavy duty hinges for display table

[joec]

I have another thread going about the flocking issue with this table. Now on to another issue. The top to the display table will be 19"X64" with 1-1/4 thick trim boards and a beveled glass top. Due to the glass it will be very heavy. I probably will use piano hinges, but they are not very attractive (in my opinion) and would like to consider something else. One issue is the top will overhang the back of the case by 1". Any thoughts on something better?

You can always just increase the number of hinges. For example, heavier entry doors will sometimes have four hinges instead of the typical three.

I was thinking the overhang of the top, on the rear of the table could cause some issues, as I hope I can make the top sit flat. The barrel of some hinges could cause this to be an issue.

I have used Rocker Torsion Hinges successfully on toy boxes with heavy lids.
