Are the glass edges sharp? Could someone hurt themselves on it? I'm thinking of getting it for my elderly mother to keep sewing supplies handy.

To reiterate what others have said: 1) the corners are rounded, so there are no sharp edges; however, it is glass & therefore hard 2) not sure I'd recommend for sewing supplies because, depending the kind of floor you have, there might be a slight wobble; not only that, but I, personally, would be annoyed by the loud sound of metal on glass (if, for example, you keep your scissors there). However, if you're just looking for a place to set your glasses and/or scissors, needle and thread that's both accessible AND out of the way, this could do the trick if you absolutely can't find anything else.

It is not sharp but the glass can flip if you press in it a certain way. It can break

The glass edges are rounded so I don't think there is any more chance of an elderly person or child getting hurt on this than any other piece of wood or metal furniture.

The edges are not super sharp but they are sharp. That being said, I would not recommend this table as it is very poorly put together. My 11-year-old grandson bumped against it and the glass table fell off - completely. I had neither the time nor the patience to pack it up for return so it was a total waste of my $52. It is definitely not something that would be practical for keeping your mom's sewing supplies handy. I'd look elsewhere if I were you.

I do not find the edges of my table's glass sharp at all. The way the glass is secured is very strong if installed per directions. My only concern would be if your Mom was not stable and reached for the edge of the table to catch herself, she could be injured if the table falls over, especially if she lands on it. The footprint of the base is not very wide. I just tested it and it doesn't take much pressure to tip the table over.

The edges are very smooth and slightly rounded. The glass is thick enough that I don't worry when my 25 pound cat jumps on it. I don't see how the glass could have fallen off. The table comes with four sturdy screws with which to fasten it to the frame. The frame itself is fairly steady when the table is placed on my rugs, but sometimes wobbles if the cat is energetic. It is too small to use for a major sewing project, but a nice size for repairs or for use as an end table.

I only have carpet in the house. But I would so no. It is all plastic on the bottom and it is rounded off. Have never seen a sharp edge on this.

Mine did not have sharp edges. It is very well made. I have used mine a lot this summer. It balances nicely on the jars & cleans up well. I really like mine.

I'd be careful of that ... it is an air mattress after all. Any sharp edges will damage it.

Mine was pretty sharp. Definitely pointy, but don't go swinging it at hard things, the handle will most likely break as it is made of 2 pieces that aren't very well welded together

No problems. There are no sharp edges and this has not been a problem with my grandson who is also crawling around, pulling himself up, etc. I continue to be very happy with this item!

I bought one of these 2 years ago and have never noticed any sharp edges. Just bought another one today, so we'll see how that one is on Wednesday.

In my opinion. Yes, if you are good with a sharp blade. You may want to put some type of cover on it after that to cover the jagged edges.

Edges are sharp. I didn't cut myself, but was careful. It is thicker than aluminum foil so not quite as flexible and it could cause some cuts along the edges.

The one I received & have used a lot does not have sharp edges at all. In my case it is just what I wanted & would highly recommend it.

As I recall, this machine was a piece of C**p. It did not last long at all and it wasn't cheap. I now have a Sharp, which seems to be holding up pretty well. Good luck!

If you are talking about the table with six chairs, the glass fits inside the frame so there are no sharp edges. You probably should know, though, that the black glass can get hot in the summer. If you mean the center table that goes with the couch and chairs, the edges are beveled.

I have mine set up with my keyboard on top of the desk and have no problems. The edges aren't Sharp at all.

I have sharpened mine, and those of the women who work in the quilt shop, by cutting aluminum foil or fine sandpaper. They do cut a lot of fabric before they need to be sharpened however. :-)

It doesn't really have sharp edges, but the magnet is *really* strong, so I can see if you aren't careful when putting it in place if you don't set it completely flat and try to roll it on, the back edge could scratch, but if you're careful that shouldn't be a problem.
