Dear Carlos,

Usually glass (especially tempered glass or even ordinary) is considered as the Metal element because of it's density.

The two bamboo hexagonal sidetables, if they are e.g. brown in colour or (green) in colour would represent the Wood element.

Yes, yellow cloth should be associated with Earth element.

One of the key success factor in applying good Feng Shui is to use a combination flow e.g. under the Productive cycle.

For example, under the productive cycle, there is:-

Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire -> Earth and then to Metal again

Take for example, the Suntec City fountain. The url for reference can be found here:-

https://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=suntec&cat=all&bool=and&x=9&y=9

If one notice carefully, the Suntec City fountain is made up of three continious flow of elements. Eg.

Earth (water falling down to the earth)

Water (actual water flowing down from the circular brass [metal] ring.

Metal (metal element is represented by the actual brass ring. And also, round [ring] represents the metal element.

If one plots this to the Productive cycle, it becomes a proper flow:-

Earth -> Metal -> Water.

In your case, your object is missing one element to obtain a flow:-

- Assuming side table is brown or green = Wood element

- Yellow table cloth = earth element

- Glass top = metal element

If we combine all three of your elements it `nearly' becomes a flow less the fire element:-

Where there is WOOD -> missing FIRE -> EARTH -> METAL

You can introduce a `Fire element'. And if you want to a `Water element'. Especially if the material or object is in the colour of e.g. pink / red = fire element. And water = blue, black or grey.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
