How to Move a Glass Dining Table

A glass tabletop is heavy, deceptively strong flat but prone to cracking from a sharp edge blow or flexing. Separating the glass from the base and moving it on edge, well padded, is the safe method.

Pro tip: Two people should carry a glass top vertically, gripping the sides with the pane perpendicular to the floor, never flat like a tray.

Watch out: Never transport a glass tabletop lying flat; road vibration flexes the pane and can crack or shatter it. Always move it on edge.
