Hi Drea, I'm also glad I wasn't in the room when it broke, that would have been VERY disturbing, and maybe dangerous. I wasn't in any real danger from glass shooting at me, it was just so unnerving, so weird. I've never seen anything like it so it was a bit frightening. Today I was thinking, a few months ago I had wondered whether to move my computer to this other table (now broken) and its a good thing I didn't! Thank you for your comment.
