Would it be safe to hook on to a glass table of 10 mm, less than half an inch thick?

This is a wonderful little chair but I'm not sure about hooking it on to a glass table that small in width. We attached it on vacation to a table that was about 1" thick and that worked out fine. I guess it depends on how much the child weights too.

I am not sure but I don't know personally if I would even trust glass. We have ours hooked to granite and out son likes to wiggle and slap the granite. The chair is very sturdy when latched.

I don't think I would recommend that as our grandaughter likes to swing her legs and "kick" the wooden table. Don't think that would be good for glass, wood resists to stress and fatigue better than glass.

You might want to check with the manufacturer of the table to see if the glass would be strong enough to support the weight, but I'm guessing the chair would hold securely to most any table.

The default 100% safe answer is NO that is not safe. Though the table can most likely handle the torque and weight of your kiddo in the seat, it changes the physics just a bit when you snug the handles down on the glass like a vice. Supposing you install it on glass, you then have compression pressure on the glass in addition to the weight and torque of kiddo in the seat. Our kid would sometimes bounce around in the seat a little bit and bang on the table which in your case would cause a lot more stress on the glass (which doesn't give any clues that it is about to break), so I'd suggest not putting this seat on a glass table. I *might* reconsider if the glass were 25mm+ thick and if it were a smaller table, but when talking about the safety of my kid, I'd just avoid the situation 100% especially when you consider what could go wrong...

I plan on clamping it to my glass desk when it arrives. The glass is a hair more than 1/4" thick. I'm going to put a chunk of rubber or piece of wood or something to distribute the pressure. I think it will be fine.

I suppose;although it would be very uncomfortable, in my estimation. Feet/shoes are locked in with the table mechanism. Shoes(any),for me are best the longer you hang!

Clamps work less well with circular surfaces, so that may be the problem. I can't imagine that you would have a problem, but I understand your reluctance, given the return problem. I would say, just from looking at the clamp, that anything around three inches thick, and flat, not rounded, would be safe for this product, and it really does create a very firm hold. I have certainly had no problem.

I would not recommend it. It probably would work, but it is meant to be used with a table.

Not easily - you'd probably risk glass damage. However, I wouldn't doubt some manufacturing variation.

I don't know for sure but the glass is pretty thin. I don't think I would try it.

You only need a small space for the table to be secure, but 2.5" might be too short. I can measure but I would say NO.

The only problem I have found is if the underside of the table has a wide edging. Mine only has it on the ends so it can slide along the underneath of the table in the middle section. Would think if glass was thick enough it would work but not sure.

I would not recommend using this clamp directly on the glass. The surface of the clamp is only about 3/4 inch in diameter on the bottom and is likely to break the glass. Using wood blocks on top and bottom of the glass and clamping to that would distribute the force of the clamp and possibly make it safe.

It would be a risky choice due to the combined weight of glass and wood. Personally, I'd be hesitant to use these clips with glass at all.

yes, should be no problem provided you do not have oversize plates. I would say a 10 inch plate should be fine.

2" thick isn't a problem, the allowable depth for the bolts that hold it in place are just under 3". As for it being recessed, it depends. There are two bolts on the underside that would be about 1" from the edge of what you're attaching it to. The bolts have flat disks on the end that you screw up tight against the underside of the table. You could conceivably have each bolt at different depths since they operate independently. But, if they happen to hit on the edge of the recessed area where they can't be flat against the underside, then that would be a problem.

You would be safe to get something up to 4 1/2 inches, but nothing more, because of the framing. The glass sits down in, on the framing.

No. I wouldn't chance it, you have to clamp down pretty hard to get it to stay secure. I just dont know if glass can take the force without cracking

It is up to you. Use a shorter screw for thinner wood. It's not heavy, even with glasses. But very thin wood (1/8" or less) may not be strong enough for any permanent fixture.

As long as the lip at the edge of the table isn't too thick, I don't see why it wouldn't.
