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:

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...

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...
[i]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). [/i]

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...
