Does the glass top just sit on the base, or is it secured somehow? I'm worried about pets or me knocking it off.

The glass sits on four small suction cups that is attached to the base. Keeps it from sliding, works well. Hope that helped, I'm happy with it.

Hi Rosalita. It is secured by four inch-wide suction cups. It would be very difficult for you or a pet to knock it over. I wouldn't worry about that. I sit on my couch and put my feet on the edge of the tabletop, and it never moves.

The glass just sits on the base but it's fairly heavy. If you have dogs or cats, I don't think you have anything to worry about. And I don't think you could knock it off the base unless you meant to. I've bumped into it a couple of times with my legs walking by it and it didn't budge. Its a beautiful table!

I am NOT at home now but if I remember right it is held on with suction cups I don't think knocking it off will be an issue.

The glass is heavy, I don't think it could be knocked down. I have six grandchildren and a cocker spaniel always running around the table, and it's still standing. Love the coffee table, looks great in my livingroom. I hope this helps you.

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

It is semi secured with four small suction cups. I think it's pretty stable.

the base is adjustable and securely fastens the unit. make sure the top is locked in place when you use it

The glass "attaches" via small suction cups to the legs. It is pretty stable - have been using as my study table for a few months now without any problems. Hope this helps.

It is rather heavy but the top is separate and just sitting on the base. I have never done this but in the past my parents always secured the top of their clay birdbaths with a thick roll of putty. The top could then be pried off for winter storage. I filled the base of mine about halfway with gravel for additional sturdiness but didn't do anything to secure the top. So far the deer haven't broken it. Knock on wood! I may have just jinxed myself! I think I'll go get some putty now!

No the base is extended out so there is space for the glass which hangs down so it won't hit the wall or mirror behind it.

The glass shouldn't break, but I'd worry it would separate at the hinge in the middle. The hinge portion is plastic and is fairly flexible. I don't let my cats on mine. I recommend the Scare Crow or a similar product to train cats to keep off.

I would not take a chance of anyone sitting on the top of this cage. It is very strong, but not meant to be sat on. I have a book, lamp, and a water glass on it, but nothing else.

Mine is not secured and it's on top of a dresser. The dresser has a back and sides though so it would only slide off the front. But I make sure to always hold him. Or have one hand on him.

The top surface is the same as the rest of the unit. We had a piece of glass cut for the top to protect it.

It just sits on top but has rubber between the glass and metal. I Don't think the squirrels could tip it but it might not be worth the risk. It is beautiful in person.

The base is very sturdy but the table top just sits on top of the base so if you lean on it it will move.

Hi Donna, Sorry this is late. The glass top is attached to the base (not free standing). It is a mighty sturdy table, and I'm very pleased with it. ~ Laurie

it's pretty heavy, thick-walled glass, depends on how big your cats are and how determined they are to knock it over. I would just try my best to keep it out of their reach.

You would need to buy the glass top as well because it has silver parts attached to it that fits into the grooves of the base...therefore; if you wanted to use ur glass top, it would slide and shift right off the base(making it dangerous to eat on).

It snaps in, but not real tightly. I just now checked it. A light tap won't knock it out. It just looks like it could easily top over, but it does take more than a light tap. Oh, pets, yes, pets would definitely knock it over.

I have sort of lined it up near where it will sit,but 'twist' it to be sure the top & bottom rims are seated together. Maybe forgo the palm tree topper for awhile just to make it less top heavy (and more to startle your kitty if there is a problem). Scared cats take time and patience to have trust again, as I am sure you know. Maybe leave the top off for a week (I know,... what's the point of a camouflage cat pan if the lid is off? ) so that way he gets used to the pan and considers it ok before you try the top again. Good luck!

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.
