Is this sturdy enough to use as "glass" in a homemade shadow box?

Yes. I'm very happy with the quality. It is not flimsy and won't bend easily.

I don't think I would trust it to support that much. The joints that connect the legs together are really weak. The joints bend just trying to move the table around. the glass is very heavy duty, but the base is going to be the weak point. I would not use this table for anything other than a coffee table.

It's very thick glass, all around. There aren't any delicate thin parts. I doubt it would survive a drop to the floor (tho it might, it seems pretty sturdy), but it could probably handle bumping on the table, etc., without a crack. Hope I've helped! Love mine!

They are pretty sturdy. If you are using them for illusions they are a little slippery, but still can be used for this.

I threw the box away, but I have it on the bottom of the cabinet so I think it could hold quite a bit. The tracks are heavy metal and the shelf is solid wood. I have all my glass pitchers on it

probably it is pretty sturdy. you could probably set it on a table against a wall.

it's not realy a shadow box. the backing is only cardboard. you could reinforce the backing and give it a try. they are not that expensive and if it doesn't work you can put a picture in it. they are great frames.

The box is only about a 1/4 inch deep. Not a lot of room for a shadow box look. I put a piece of paper, a small dried flower, and a lapel pin and that was tight to close over the pin. Might not be the best for sand collection. The description should say more like...deep frame, than shadow box.

I have never tried, but they are quite sturdy; I have used them to hold ticket stubs in a shadow box no problem. They are not "invisible" you can see the tabs at the corner if you are very close .. just fyi .. I just don't want to destroy the ticket stub and it works perfectly.

Yes for sure!!! Its very sturdy, I used it in my photography studio with all kinds of materials as backdrops.

the advice is......no. since clamping will require pressure to remain stable, it is very likely that that glass will break. i'm the proud owner of one and i must say it is serving its purpose......and me quite well. i would recommend that you use a wooden desk or platform instead. should you continue with your current configuration, you may risk damaging your desk and monitors!

The glass is thin about the thickness of a piece of cardboard. It could hold a small granite fixture but not a slab of granite in my opinion. I would not trust it. I have a lamp and sculpture on mine. Anything else would be too busy as it is not a long or wide table. Good luck

My answer would be YES. Although the box closes securely itself, I liked the extra outer box as protection from light as well as from getting dust on the plastic view window. It protects the keepsafe box as well. It is solid outer box, all white, not flimsy. I put mine on a top shelf of a bedroom closet.

The glass is a good thickness... Not too heavy but certainly not fragile... My house is a party house and this table sees a lot of abuse.... I'm happy with the quality

It would work, but I would be afraid it would scratch or the break glass. It is heavy

I don't have the best answer here, but my guess would be no. The glass is standard. Thick, but standard. The glass has some weight to it, but if it dropped, I'm sure it'd be in pieces.

The box is made of thin cardboard but the circular design seems to support the weight easily. Other than rough use it should hold okay.
