How does the glass attach to the base? Is it loose where it could come off?

It is attached with 4 suction cups. I am surprised it hasn't gotten loose yet since I have two little kids. They like to play under tables.

Suctions cups on top the base keep the glass from sliding off. You can lean on it sitting down and it shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, the glass sit on top of the base. It's very stable because the glass is very sturdy, thick and heavy.

The glass top is removable, I actually used it on another table for a few weeks after I got it. The glass on my old table broke in a wind storm but I didn't want to assemble the new table for the few weeks I had until winter set in so I just used the glass from this table to rest on the old table frame. The metal band around the glass is attached to the glass however. The whole thing just sits on some rubber nubs on legs below.

it comes up from the base. But I dont reccomend it because the shade isnt attached and wobbles everywhere and drives me crazy ;)

The rectangular bar holder has 2 double sided permanent stickers to attach it to the glass on either side of the bar. Once attached, it not removable (without destroying the adhesive). The bar itself can still be moved up, down or turn right and left. It's seems very secure and I don't have any fears of it accidentally falling into the tank.

There are rubber circles at the top of each base piece so the glass sits on top of those rubber circles and stays firmly in place.

The glass/plastic base does not unscrew. It is rather like looking for a more definite detail when viewing this unit. The way a diamond dealer would look for any minor to major crack or deminisce in a diamond per say.

There are some small, clear pads between the glass and the metal. I haven't had any problems with the glass moving.

It looks like the slot is about four inches wide so the base will slide on. I don't know how wide the bubble of your glass is, though.

The glass is sturdy. Be certain to pack it up with good padding as you would with any fragile, glass item. Also, be sure to dismantle base from screen. It would certainly break away if you omit this step.

It's held on by a big plastic nut. Unscrew that and the base will slide off.

The legs detach very easily. If anything I wish the were attached firmer. Shouldn't be a problem directly on the glass, but I would worry about plastics and glue softening from the heat output.

There is an allen-screw holding the base to the bar, if that is the part you say is loose simply remove it, tighten it an re-install. If you have mounted it on a soft wall covering, like sheet-rock, and not installed long screws into a wall stud you will have to move it up or down and re install and fill the old holes. It will eventually loosen again, unless you mount it on something solid, or place a wood brace behind the sheetrock.

The glass top sits on the base, but it's very heavy. Trust me, you won't knock it off!

The glass simply lifts up. It is a fitted base that it sits on that keeps it from sliding around. Hope that helps.

Mine comes off frequently (at the top). I've thought about securing it w Gorilla glue or grommets or something. A pain for sure.

The top is sturdy because it fits in a groove on top of the table. That being said, it is not difficult to slide the glass out of the groove if that is your intention. I have a four year old and an almost two year old, neither appears to have discovered this fact, so it hasn't been an issue for us. But to be clear, you have to affirmatively slide it out--it's not like the glass top will inadvertently fall out on account of a minor bump or with normal use of putting items on top of the table and removing them.
