about a hour ago, me and the mrs were sat watching a film and the dining table in the kitchen shattered.
big 6 seated glass thing about 5 year sold.
what a bloody scare…….. 🙁

If she’s told you once, she’s told you a thousand times, DONT SIT ON THE TABLE FATBOY!

Had you made it cross? …….
..or was it just badly tempered

Thats what comes of using it as a workbench for the bike when the misses is out the house. Stress fracture in the glass caused by chainring contact.

bastids…….. 😆

Sounds pretty tacky anyway. Better off rid of it.

No good without pics….

Not very kind, are they Ton?  🙁

I am working on a new range of furniture stuffs Ton. Might have a dining table in there for you. What kind of styles do you like?

big 6 seated glass thing

Kitsch.

had a similar thing happen on delivery to a client, UV bonded toughened glass, the change in temp caused the lead crystals in the glass to fracture and as it was toughened it exploded, right in front of the client and their interior designer. Thankfully it was the interior designers stupid concept 😀

next one is gonna be a stainless jobbie, with nice treadplate top. 8)

Concrete’s what you need, Ton.

Look, beautifuls:

ton’s next dining table 😉

fred, i quite like that…………kinda looks like one of my bikes, but in table guise.

lets be hinets it has seen some use …did it crack where you sit as it could not bear the weight of desperate dan size pies?
Lucky escape fella imagine if you were sitting there with the kids, grandchild eh?
Glad no one was hurt.

You want a glass topped table, how about this one:

Just scratches and edge chips isn’t it, playing with the internal stresses. Bought and Oak table instead of glass not long ago, kinda glad now 🙂

Coffeetableking…. 🙂

“explore exciting new forms of love making, in new & unusual locations & positions” said the book, now confined to the bin.

i’ve seen that happen in a few toughened glass things before. Had some table mats that were toughened glass and came home to one of them shattered into tiny pieces. same with a toughened glass pan lid.

Glass coffee tables always make me recall the Noddy Holder story about a struggling singer in the early 1970s touring Germany.

You can’t just say that and leave us hanging….. 🙂

You can’t just say that and leave us hanging…

Apparently he made extra money by performing bowel movements on glass coffee tables for German businessmen who would lay beneath and watch.

Struggling to find proof of this on Google but I remember seeing an interview with him a few years ago where he mentioned it.

EDIT: Lots of stuff doing the rounds on chat boards such as this, which must be the interview I saw…
Noddy, when rather skint on tour in Europe somewhere, was paid to take a crap on a glass topped coffee table by someone else (I remember him discussing it a couple of years ago on a late night chat show – poss Frank Skinner or Wossy).

And I always had Noddy Holder down as a Glam Rocker not a Scat man 😯

I just can’t get over the Zebra table and chairs, do people really pay money for stuff like that? 😆

you should look in the some of the shops on South Audley Street – with wall-to-wall gilded tat pitched at the discerning middle-eastern market…

the discerning middle-eastern market…

TBH that hadn’t crossed my mind, make more sense now you mention it. I’d love to see the wife’s reaction if she came home and found that on the patio 😆
