That doesn’t look like bad luck, just a bad idea.

Not even putting down a towel or blanket for starters too. Shit probably would have burst on the floor anyways, especially with him handling it uneven like that.

He should have disassembled it. The legs pointing sideways torque'd the glass

how would you disassemble it without turning it first. If you left it standing and started removing legs you would quickly end up with a big sheet of glass missing support in large areas.

It can survive being unsupported. It can't survive a two foot long lever being bolted to it and torqued.

Which is why 99% of glass desks have a complete frame that the glass just sits on top of. Making the glass part of the structure is just asking for trouble. Especially if they've put holes through it to secure the legs.

I'm feeling sick to my stomach right now imagining a world where Doogie102 did not come here to say that.
