Does the glass seem thick/sturdy? Anyone know what type of glass? I might be moving in a few months, so fragile might be bad.

The screen appears to be reasonably flexible, sturdy, and is much like the screens on all monitors produced these days. I think that it is not likely to break unless given a sharp strike. I'd use the packing it is shipped in to protect it when moving. Surprisingly, I could find no information online regarding the type of glass. Perhaps you could find out more about its characteristics by contacting the manufacturer or Corning.

Hello. It seems very sturdy. It's really difficult to determine the thickness of the screen but I would say it is comparable to other monitors. I would, however, remove it from it's stand when you move it. I would also keep the original packing materials which provide good protection. I've been very pleased with this little monitor.

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.

In my unprofessional but geeky opinion, it seems fairly thick, thick enough to survive a move. You could always retain the box it comes in for subsequent transport.

I wrapped mine in a towel and checked it in my luggage during a deployment overseas. It handled loading, transport, and unloading with no issues. The screen is not glass, but it is definitely not fragile. I can post pictures if you need.

I recommend keeping the box, so you can repackage it when you move. As for the build quality, it definitely looks good, but like most monitors, they are fragile and should be treated with care. Also, the glass feels more like a plastic if you ask me. I bought three of them and couldn't be happier. They are very glossy so you get a crisp and clear picture, but you definitely want to keep them away from direct sunlight.

I think they look like glass from afar, but they definitely don't *feel* like glass...they're much lighter. Haven't had any problems with the quality of the plastic so far.

It's not real glass. We have dropped it a time or two and it has not broken or even cracked.

I would not recommend this. The glass is not too thick. I put mine behind my existing window. The colors are really beautiful. I hope this helps you. Helga

The glasses have taken quite a beating for me from rocks, sand, insects. they have not scratched nor cracked. Dust and sand will however creep in through the vents and make riding difficult if the particles are small enough. these are not air tight.

They are not fragile. I've broken only one out of a dozen. 4 ft drop to concrete. Easily as sturdy as any glass of like size. Slightly heavier in my opinion. Hold the cold like crazy.

If they're pretty sturdy, or you're sticking them in behind the GPS. The top has a fairly stiff spring on it, and more delicate glasses might be crushed. I'd try putting them in and slowly lowering the top to see how they take it.

Sturdy. We're hard on these glasses using them daily and into the dishwasher. Only have broken one (in dishwasher) since owning them probably almost a year - pretty good for us.

Glass, but not the toughest glass around.Be delicate with this kitEdit: im pretty sure its glass due to the way it cracked, just my guess.

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

The glass is pretty durable, i had accidentally dropped it from 3ft and it just bounced along with having it work for 2 years now!

They are double glass, so not thin, I like them. BUT we dropped one of them and it sorta' blew up on us--made a terrible noise, but did not throw glass around..

The glass is thick tempered glass, I haven't stood on it or anything but I'm confident that it will hold just about anything you want to place on it. It's a great desk expecially for the price I would totally get another if the time ever required it. You will be very pleased with it

Yes, the glass in the middle is black, very thick and seems sturdy. If handled like any other glass, it should keep, not worried much about the glass breaking. We are very happy with this set. Very elegant, easy to put together. Took me, alone, less than an hour to do it.

The base is very solid & doesn't seem like it would fall over easily. The glass itself is fairly thin but doesn't feel "delicate" if that makes sense. We use the glass almost daily and it has held up well.

Depends on ur weather climate...but I would say no the glass is too fragile for harsh weather.

I suggest you bring the glass in during the winter months. I did not and the glass all broke and I had a difficult time getting all the pieces picked up. Learned a lesson, will bring in my new one next year.
