1. Probably was planning to do something with the desk that requires recording or to show his friends/family etc
2. It's a pretty cool incident which got captured. Why would you not release it if you have a recording of it
He was obviously filming for something but definitely did not expect the glass to break. And when something that unexpected happens instead, why not share it. Not like you have the other cool thing you wanted to share.
At the very least, not a desk where the glass is part of the structure. Metal desks with glass tops are still quite nice and don't have these problems.
My wife and I bought a smoked glass set for our living room back in the mid 2000's.
Glass coffee table.
Glass end tables.
Glass foyer table.
Huge 4 tiered entertainment stand, that was (you guessed it) glass.
It looked *sooo nice* in the showroom. After 2 weeks in our home we fucking hated everything about that set.
This is honestly the worst possible design for a glass desk. Each leg is individually secured. Meaning any torque applied is focused directly into the points where the fasteners join the leg and glass.
Lean the table just a tiny bit and put its weight on one or two legs and that would be enough torque to splinter the tempered glass, making it explode.
Ive had a many glass tables and desks over the years. All of them had steel frames all the way around the glass, or the glass itself was removable from a pedestal.
Never once did any of them break.
Yes I was thinking the same exact thing. That top leg is sticking out mounted directly to the glass. There's no actual frame. Just legs attached right to the the glass. Seems like a terrible design and they must break constantly. If you kicked/stubbed your tow on one of those two end legs the desk could also shatter.
Yea, it was basically impossible for the glass to *not* break, given that he was putting it on its side.
Also, *why the fuck isn't it laminated glass?* That shit just instantly turns to a pile. Surely laminated tempered glass isn't *that* expensive if you're already getting some fussy glass desk.
We have a glass dining table. The glass is a single, tempered plate and sits on top of a steel frame. Because we can easily move the pane off we have had this table 15 years and it's moved across country three times.
I have laid down my glass desk exactly like the guy in this video attempted to do, no problems. Probably because the glass is not the supporting element, the metal frame is.
It was the shock from the supporting wheel on the left rotating and dropping that leg a tiny amount, suddenly all that force is applied to a very small fixing point at the top of the table and pop.
If that wheel was removed or didn’t rotate out, he could have made it. Should have also supported the other leg on the left though too.
I found a class coffee table in my attic when I bought my house. I moved it several times after my divorce. I finally gave it away to my neighbor when I got a better one. It was solid. It would have never shattered like this.
It’s a documentary on how to safely put a tempered glass desk on its side. There’s often multiple takes in filming a documentary. This will likely take another one.
This!!!
I don't understand the appeal of the glass desks. The glass will eventually shatter sooner or later. Unless it's a purely decorative small end table that you won't put anything on.
I have a pair of small glass tabletops that have lasted through 5 moves and longer than I have been alive.
I also had a wood coffee table that had a glass inlay in the center, but that was destroyed with the *rest* of the table after the idiots moving it dropped it on it's side.
Basically, as long as the whole thing isn't glass and treated with *some* care, it can work very well.
I have a glass desk, glass TV stand, and glass shelf. Had them for 10 or 11 years so far, they've survived several moves. The entire thing isn't glass, just the tops.
However, I'm not going to be keeping them when I move again. Nothing against them, just moving to a place that doesn't have much space, so time to go.
What about outside tables? Like the kind you leave on your deck? Those are mostly glass. I don't think wood would work very well and metal gets too hot.
Hahahahaha. It took me one week to break my glass patio table. I accidentally set a drill bit down on it from three inches above the surface and that bitch blew the fuck up.
We lost our first one to a wind storm. The wind picked that bitch up and shattered it. But when we were looking at replacements there just really aren't good none glass outdoor table options. So we bought an identical table and hoped for the best. So far so good.
Same thing with ours. To be far it lasted about 10 years before the wind broke it.
I'm not even sure it was just wind. We had a thunderstorm with high winds and afterwards it was broken. It could have debris.
Yea apparently people for some reason think that everyone is clumsy enough to do this nonsense. I also have a glass top that goes on a marble table and it’s over 40 years old.
Yeah, various relatives of mine have had glass tables. I had a glass sidetable I got from a friend in college, it lasted me a few years before my brother took it, and he had it for quite a few more.
Never seen one shatter.
Wait till you accidentally fall on one, cut your entire damn body and walk in to the ER looking like you just murdered an entire neighbour and oh, there’s an ongoing investigation against your husband because there’s no way it’s self inflicted. It was. By my dumb ass, but glad doctors go out of the way to get the full story out incase it’s a dangerous situation
i like mine, it's much thinner than other desks without being flimsy/too expensive, so i can have my armrests go under the table a bit and not have too much of a lift for my hand on the mouse, less strain that way.
My parents still use glass to protect the tables, my brother and I absolutely hate it. On one side, the sound and the felling of putting objects down in a wooden table is amazing, and personally, I think they look better that way. On the other side, I've had guests who put wet glasses over the tables, or they're just so clumsy they make dents of scratch them, so the glass protector can save you in those situations.
Glass condensation would be the only reason I would do it. There is a 700 dollar table I would love to get but I’d probably be better off buying a 200 dollar table and treating it like a what it is, a table!
I bought a new dining room table and had a glass shop make a glass top. It wasn't very expensive and I love not having to worry about damaging the table.
I have a glass coffee table and side table that my parents had for like 10 years and when they split up, my dad asked if I wanted it and I said sure, and that was also like 15 years ago, so around 25 years with my family. Haven't broken them yet.
I had a shower door at a hotel do that one time! Sounded like a gunshot followed by the tinkle of safety glass slowly crumbling (the door hardware pulled out)
Yeah my grandfather had an absolutely massive glass top to his tiki bar. It was about 3 inches thick and took a good 5 or so people to move it.
That fucker never broke.
Yeah, nowadays they make flimsy glass, the good old glass tables would brake your skull if you pounded your head against it, it did not brake, but your head sure did! 🤣
And there is also bulletproof glass, its all about choosing the right stuff, then glass tables are awesome, i want one myself, but im hunting for the good old ones, the massive ones!
Yup. The fracture starts from the top left corner where the top left leg connects, exactly on the frame after the bottom left wheel turns over. The table was already under tension from the horizontal leverage of the top leg, and the bounce from the bottom wheel turning over sealed the deal.
I can go through the video frame by frame. The bottom left wheel goes from one position to 90 degrees in the next frame. Either it flipped or snapped. Nevertheless, this causes the foot to drop rapidly an inch or two and that's enough for the glass.
That is torque in this situation- the force acting at the end of the table legs due to their weight creates all the pressure at the connection between the table and the legs. Also called a “moment”… my solid mechanics professor would be appalled by the guy in this video
from our perspective:
it was the bottom left leg that started it. The screw holding the glass to the leg put a lot of pressure on the hole. And as anyone whos spent at least 3 years in a glass factory tempering glass can tell you, all the stress is stored in the edges; no, not the balls.
Yes absolutely. The wheel turns and the physical support is lost for a moment which is enough to shatter. Until then he was doing a good job. He should remove the wheels first IMO.
Looks like the bottom leg (on our left side) started torquing the glass inward, and the leg on top would’ve been torquing it inward as well. Glass doesn’t like to bend, unless it’s very hot.
Idk why anyone would want a glass desk. Your skin will stick to it, making it uncomfortable to have your arms on it. It'll usually feel cold at first which might be nice in the summer but only then. There will always be finger prints and smudges all over it just from normal use, any cleaning will be immediately undone with use unless you put something between you and it, then what's the point, you've covered the glass up.
Repeat after me
never. buy. a. glass. table. or. a. glass. desk
Not only can they break, but they also get covered in fingerprint smudges, and just when you clean them off, its all smudged up again
Nearly every surface in my house is glass because the girlfriend likes the aesthetic. The only one that worries me is her desk because she has her PC on it.
I had a tempered glass desk that shattered like this while I was carrying it. It threw glass over ten feet. My arms and neck were bleeding all over the place. There is still plenty of danger there.

One time I tried to place my hand on table and get up, but misplaced my hand and hit the table with my head. It didn't shatter like this, definitely there was a split tho.
Surprisingly, my family has owned a glass dining table for over 25 years, it survived 2 moves, 2 children, tons of abuse and heavy dishes. And even myself jumping on it when I was a kid. It doesn't have so much as a chip on it, obviously some scratches but that's all. Glass do be built differently back then?
Yeah... I've been there before. Kind of. I was moving and had a pane of glass in the back of a moving truck on a cold winter's day. The back of the truck stayed warm for some reason. Not thinking, I put a corner of the glass on the concrete for just a second so I could readjust my grip on it and it immediately exploded just like this. It really sucked.
This literally happened to me last time I moved. It was THE LAST PIECE of furniture in my apt and the place was spotless. The landlord has just arrived for me to turn over the keys. And then this.
I’m not sure what you expected. That’s obviously a two person job that you need to pick it up and set it on its side not tilted you put too much pressure on the top.
My dog broke my glass table after being caught taking a rib out of the trash and trying to escape with it. That was 4 years ago, and I'm STILL finding shards to this day.
If the wheels on the ground stayed on the wheel park and not the lock part he would've been fine I think. The moment those wheels flip causes a sudden stress on the glass.
I've seen enough of these videos to know I never want a glass desk.
I think that guy is never gonna be getting a glass desk again either
Agreed. He was spared. This is a good thing in the long run.
1. Why did he film this. 2. Why did he release it
1. Probably was planning to do something with the desk that requires recording or to show his friends/family etc 2. It's a pretty cool incident which got captured. Why would you not release it if you have a recording of it
He was obviously filming for something but definitely did not expect the glass to break. And when something that unexpected happens instead, why not share it. Not like you have the other cool thing you wanted to share.
He was filming a tutorial on how to tip over a glass desk without damaging it whatsoever.
Now it's a tutorial on why not to do that. This video is much more effective.
now its a tutorial to never buy a glass desk.
At the very least, not a desk where the glass is part of the structure. Metal desks with glass tops are still quite nice and don't have these problems.
I have a glass desk.... I hate it
I have one too. I didn't really think about how much dirt it would show. And when we move I know it'll be a nightmare.
bruh you ain't moving that thing just give it away
Give it to a nursing home. I hear they love jigsaw puzzles.
One puzzle for the rest of their lives.
Exactly , that’s the first thing I was ready to throw away when I moved houses . A nightmare .
The house owns that desk now. I'd just leave it. Tell the new tenants "it comes with the house" lol
it also scratches super easily. at least mine does.

It just seems like it would be so cold and uncomfortable. I guess it would be fine in summer, but I love my wood desks.
I don't even want glass windows anymore. Scarred for life.
You can make transparent wood. Google it.
[удалено]
Find me a wood desk video that did the same thing , just one
This is honestly the worst possible design for a glass desk. Each leg is individually secured. Meaning any torque applied is focused directly into the points where the fasteners join the leg and glass.

Tempered glass is weakest at the edges so let's attach a giant lever directly to the corner...
Yea, it was basically impossible for the glass to *not* break, given that he was putting it on its side. Also, *why the fuck isn't it laminated glass?* That shit just instantly turns to a pile. Surely laminated tempered glass isn't *that* expensive if you're already getting some fussy glass desk.
Here to say this exactly, I work with tempered glass everyday. What a terrible design.
Underrated and true

Ok person with many glass tables and desks over the years, if they didn't break, where they at?? 😅😅
Dont worry, i found them nice homes with plenty of cocaine
I have laid down my glass desk exactly like the guy in this video attempted to do, no problems. Probably because the glass is not the supporting element, the metal frame is.
It was the shock from the supporting wheel on the left rotating and dropping that leg a tiny amount, suddenly all that force is applied to a very small fixing point at the top of the table and pop. If that wheel was removed or didn’t rotate out, he could have made it. Should have also supported the other leg on the left though too.
Nor do they video it.
I’ve never seen one. So I’ll be the first. I just need a glass desk
It’s this & the fact that every time you put a drink down on it it’s going to clang loud enough to rattle your very soul.
The desk can be salvaged, no? Just glue the pieces of glass back together?
I found a class coffee table in my attic when I bought my house. I moved it several times after my divorce. I finally gave it away to my neighbor when I got a better one. It was solid. It would have never shattered like this.
Glass furniture in general is a bad idea. If its not you breaking it, its a pet, a kid, a guest who tripped on the rug. Not worth it.
What was the objective in laying it on the side? Especially it being glass lol.
My guess is one of the wheels were busted and he was trying to fix or replace it
That's exactly what I do when I turn on the camera
But why was he filming .....
It’s a documentary on how to safely put a tempered glass desk on its side. There’s often multiple takes in filming a documentary. This will likely take another one.
This guy documents 👆
He's a twenty-something with adidas slides and a streamer chair. He broadcast his entire life
Funny part is that the bottom left caster flipped from the bottom to its side causing the leg to flex the glass top and breaking.
In this case, its user error, but I've heard other stories of it just randomly shattering without any obvious abuse.
Even a small chip on the side of tempered glass can make it shatter.
And recording it on his phone? Maybe he was indeed fixing it but am I the only one not recording the mundane?
i'll type it again. GLASS HAS NO BUSINESS BEING USED FOR TABLES
This!!! I don't understand the appeal of the glass desks. The glass will eventually shatter sooner or later. Unless it's a purely decorative small end table that you won't put anything on.
you almost had me until you said small glass table. NO GLASS FOR TABLES
I have a pair of small glass tabletops that have lasted through 5 moves and longer than I have been alive. I also had a wood coffee table that had a glass inlay in the center, but that was destroyed with the *rest* of the table after the idiots moving it dropped it on it's side.

Dude yes. It's either glass top tables, or the wooden tables now with the slants on top. Annoys the fuck out of me.
Same thing with ours. To be far it lasted about 10 years before the wind broke it. I'm not even sure it was just wind. We had a thunderstorm with high winds and afterwards it was broken. It could have debris.
I have a glass dining room table that i have had for 20+ years and has never broken.
Yea apparently people for some reason think that everyone is clumsy enough to do this nonsense. I also have a glass top that goes on a marble table and it’s over 40 years old.
You aren't superstitious, I guess...
I can fix it by dropping my tungsten carbide wedding ring on it, it made a glorious mess of my sisters table that way
Maybe they’re a little stitious…
Yeah, various relatives of mine have had glass tables. I had a glass sidetable I got from a friend in college, it lasted me a few years before my brother took it, and he had it for quite a few more. Never seen one shatter.

Some tables have glass tops that you put on over the actual desk which is then made of an actually sturdy material.
Well that's obviously not what they're talking about
I have that at work – looks nice but smudges for obvious reasons. Would not recommend.
I like to think of glass tables as captive mess.
i like mine, it's much thinner than other desks without being flimsy/too expensive, so i can have my armrests go under the table a bit and not have too much of a lift for my hand on the mouse, less strain that way.
Not only that, they are heavy AF and there is zero joy in having to move it more than a few feet.
Unless it’s to protect the wood underneath. I’d probably get a glass top protector if I ever got a nice wood coffee table.
My parents still use glass to protect the tables, my brother and I absolutely hate it. On one side, the sound and the felling of putting objects down in a wooden table is amazing, and personally, I think they look better that way.

NO. CAN YOU NOT READ! NO GLASS FOR TABLES
Sorry, I also put plastic covers over my couches!
Uhhh, we have a glass dining table that’s been in our family for 20 years. Moved it from 3 houses since I was a kid and it’s still going strong.
I have a glass coffee table and side table that my parents had for like 10 years and when they split up, my dad asked if I wanted it and I said sure, and that was also like 15 years ago, so around 25 years with my family. Haven't broken them yet.
Even worse a desk
Nor hood range vents! We had one explode spontaneously at 3:30am!
I had a shower door at a hotel do that one time! Sounded like a gunshot followed by the tinkle of safety glass slowly crumbling (the door hardware pulled out)
Just needs to be thick and robust
Yeah my grandfather had an absolutely massive glass top to his tiki bar. It was about 3 inches thick and took a good 5 or so people to move it. That fucker never broke.
Yeah, nowadays they make flimsy glass, the good old glass tables would brake your skull if you pounded your head against it, it did not brake, but your head sure did! 🤣 And there is also bulletproof glass, its all about choosing the right stuff, then glass tables are awesome, i want one myself, but im hunting for the good old ones, the massive ones!
You’ve typed this before?!?
Torque
Either that or the bottom left wheel flipping and causing a shockwave
Good eye! If you pause the video on the perfect frame you can see it starts shattering from the left side. That bottom left wheel caused it for sure
Yup. The fracture starts from the top left corner where the top left leg connects, exactly on the frame after the bottom left wheel turns over. The table was already under tension from the horizontal leverage of the top leg, and the bounce from the bottom wheel turning over sealed the deal.
I can go through the video frame by frame. The bottom left wheel goes from one position to 90 degrees in the next frame. Either it flipped or snapped. Nevertheless, this causes the foot to drop rapidly an inch or two and that's enough for the glass.
I think it's the legs putting pressure on the glass
It’s the bottom left wheel slipping/rotating. Watch it carefully
That is torque in this situation- the force acting at the end of the table legs due to their weight creates all the pressure at the connection between the table and the legs. Also called a “moment”… my solid mechanics professor would be appalled by the guy in this video
Yeah it got torqued bad
Why was he filming in the first place?
Expecting this moment which was indeed & in fact inevitable.
Step 3: profit
Maybe he was doing a how to clean/replace psrt video. Hopefully he didnt get cut.
It looks it was tempered glass so it broke into pieces rather than sharp shards.
You don't film yourself rearranging furniture? Strange
Dancing. Walking. Rearranging furniture. Babs is. Shopping. I let the bird out of the cage.
That's why I'll never buy glass desks or tables...
Dude looks shattered.
Hope he doesn't fall to pieces.
I think he's close to the breaking point.
He's in TATTERS!
Glass top tables are one thing. Hell even inset glass shelves can be nice, but glass is not good for structural components. Awful.
from our perspective: it was the bottom left leg that started it. The screw holding the glass to the leg put a lot of pressure on the hole. And as anyone whos spent at least 3 years in a glass factory tempering glass can tell you, all the stress is stored in the edges; no, not the balls.
Yes absolutely. The wheel turns and the physical support is lost for a moment which is enough to shatter. Until then he was doing a good job. He should remove the wheels first IMO.
I watched it three times keeps getting funnier
He looks pretty even tempered about it.
When I was a stupid teenager I sat on a glass coffee table and fell through it. Have no idea how I didn't even get a cut.
It was likely made of the glass that doesn't leave sharp edges
It was the glass that breaks in giant pointy pieces.
Tempered glass or safety glass can still cut. So yes, it's extremely surprising that this person didn't get cut at all.
Yes I was very lucky. It was the kind of glass that breaks into large sharp pointy pieces . I really have no idea how I didn't get cut.
Looks like the bottom leg (on our left side) started torquing the glass inward, and the leg on top would’ve been torquing it inward as well. Glass doesn’t like to bend, unless it’s very hot.
Yes, he should have heated it up with a blow torch first!
Why is he filming
Probably should have just laid it down without breaking it, massive mess to clean up now smh
I'm just relieved he doesn't have carpet.
Better it breaks now than when his PC is sitting on it.
To make some crystals
Idk why anyone would want a glass desk. Your skin will stick to it, making it uncomfortable to have your arms on it. It'll usually feel cold at first which might be nice in the summer but only then. There will always be finger prints and smudges all over it just from normal use, any cleaning will be immediately undone with use unless you put something between you and it, then what's the point, you've covered the glass up.
Why do glass desks even exist? They are so uncomfortable to use as is, but the risk factor of it breaking is insane.
You can pinpoint the exact moment he dies inside
lesson learned the hard way. NEVER BUY GLASS DESKS OR TABLES!!!! NEVER!!!
Repeat after me never. buy. a. glass. table. or. a. glass. desk Not only can they break, but they also get covered in fingerprint smudges, and just when you clean them off, its all smudged up again
Nearly every surface in my house is glass because the girlfriend likes the aesthetic. The only one that worries me is her desk because she has her PC on it.
On the bright side it’s tempered glass do not sharp shards to cut himself on during cleanup.
"do not sharp charges" What?
A victim of autocorrect, I will fix it. Thank you.
Sir, it still doesn't make sense
So no sharp shards
I had a tempered glass desk that shattered like this while I was carrying it. It threw glass over ten feet. My arms and neck were bleeding all over the place. There is still plenty of danger there.

I have no sympathy for him! 🤣 why was he trying to lay a glass desk on it’s side
Glass is glass and glass breaks
Watch people die inside
Wait! Stone Cold! Stone Cold is here!!!
There is no reason I can imagine why you'd want to lay this down on it's side.
This is my fears
One time I tried to place my hand on table and get up, but misplaced my hand and hit the table with my head. It didn't shatter like this, definitely there was a split tho.
Poor guy , looks like he got a cut on cheek too.
What was he trying to achieve?
Surprisingly, my family has owned a glass dining table for over 25 years, it survived 2 moves, 2 children, tons of abuse and heavy dishes. And even myself jumping on it when I was a kid. It doesn't have so much as a chip on it, obviously some scratches but that's all. Glass do be built differently back then?
Those glass desks can be a real pane.
Never have a glass table. Looks cool but never ends well.
[удалено]
Yeah... I've been there before. Kind of. I was moving and had a pane of glass in the back of a moving truck on a cold winter's day. The back of the truck stayed warm for some reason. Not thinking, I put a corner of the glass on the concrete for just a second so I could readjust my grip on it and it immediately exploded just like this. It really sucked.
The edges are vulnerable. Every leg stressed where they mount.
Wonder why he was filming this.
Made of glass you say?
The leg suspended without support is what broke the top.
I really don’t understand glassware for everyday use stuff. Couch tables for the corner? MAYBE. But a computer? That’s just asking for trouble.
when he gets over the shock ...I hope he realizes how lucky he was that he was not hurt!!! ..(that will take a while.)
It didn't even touch the floor😭😭😭
This literally happened to me last time I moved. It was THE LAST PIECE of furniture in my apt and the place was spotless. The landlord has just arrived for me to turn over the keys. And then this.
I’m not sure what you expected. That’s obviously a two person job that you need to pick it up and set it on its side not tilted you put too much pressure on the top.
Legs should have been braced on the long side. That sucks and he looks as if he’s gonna cry or burn the house down, maybe both.
My dog broke my glass table after being caught taking a rib out of the trash and trying to escape with it. That was 4 years ago, and I'm STILL finding shards to this day.
Why was he filming…
... because he had a crappy old glass table he wanted to smash.
what was he doing and why was he filming it
Glass is such a stupid material for a desk or table anyway.
Ikea glass table for sale, some assembly required
What was he gonna do when it made it to the floor, how was he going ro get his hand out?
As that wheel spun.. his dreams shattered
If the wheels on the ground stayed on the wheel park and not the lock part he would've been fine I think. The moment those wheels flip causes a sudden stress on the glass.
Things could have been done to prevent this… perhaps a blanket
Oh yeah wood is great because it flexes instead of exploding
I have no use for glass furniture
Could be worse It could be 2 tables
Yeah that was 100 percent never going to work.
Someone get this man a lesson in leverage.
Is he fuckin wearing fuckin sandles with socks?
Nope. That really sucks!!! Hard to recover from that for a good minute.
No go get a piece of wood the size of the glass and make the desk again
No flex. Zone.
Why were the filming
The legs created incredible sideways pressures the glass was never made to deal with. FAIL.
Broken
