Kb27 Supersonic January 21, 2020 Share January 21, 2020 You see, most people don't think about safety. If it hasn't happened to me yet, it will never happen, that's the thinking. I have a coffee table from Ikea with a glass top. No matter how tempered the glass is or how safe it's claimed to be, I won't put anything more than glass, cups, plates, forks and spoons on it. Try cooking on top of the glass is just playing the russian roulette game. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor68 Turbocharged January 21, 2020 Share January 21, 2020 Glass itself has impurities during the manufacturing process. So, that piece of glass you owned, when will it shatters, you won't know. External impact, changes in environment will triggers it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glass table is meant to put your drinks, your coffee, snacks, that sort of thing. This glass table also look quite insecure. It seems to be resting on 4 plastic suckers, which means the glass could shift if someone is pushing or leaning on it and will land on the ground in any case. For goodness sake, just get a solid wood dining table (from Ikea) and you're unlikely to face this kind of problem. The problem is extreme temperature changes from cold to hot and hot to cold. It is the sudden quick expension and contrection of the glass that may shuttle it. So yeah better not to put hot pot on glass table. Imagine glass table in aircon room, then on hot pot, the table from cold to become hot very fast, worst is when there is soup spill that further worsen it.

Soya Supersonic January 22, 2020 Share January 22, 2020 It's not the heat It's the CMI design of the glass top that sits unsupported along the edge that's prone to bending 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafansu Turbocharged January 22, 2020 Share January 22, 2020 I'm using this type can be extended, used for steamboat few times so far no issue. The glass is quite thick. The one posted by them seems very fragile and due to big size i think shouldn't even put any hot thing on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic January 22, 2020 Share January 22, 2020 (edited) The ppl at the table may be pressing on the table surface with their arms and body weight. The weight distribution is in the 4 corners and no support in the middle. Poor design. No wonder the table top crashed. This table buy from taobao is it?😂 Edited January 22, 2020 by Watwheels Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just like little ice picks. I will get her to wear when she goes on the glass bridge and ask her to jump on the glass and take a selfie. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
