I don’t get how this happens when people admit to seeing posts showing why not to do this. Put the shit on your desk and if you really need it on the floor or kitchen counter to upgrade/build put a damn towel down first.

It looks weirdly artistic. Frame it and put it on your wall.

Was moving a big tempered glass cabinet for my wife at her work and her staff was laughing at me for not putting the door down until someone got blankets to wrap it in.

I have two computers with that tempered glass. I’m extremely cautious.
No matter how much you camouflage it as wood… its still tiles!

How does this even happen? Do you just take off the side panel, place it on the floor and it goes boom or what? Does it just shatters by itself?

I snickered at my boss when she said the storm killed her gaming monitor. A week later my son broke my monitor. Karma is a bitch.
ANOTHER GLASS PANEL ON THE TILE FLOOR
Won’t happen to me, none glass here.
