>>9637355Like someone said, people install them the wrong way.
Over tightening a screw? glass ready to break
Braces not installed correctly? glass ready to slip and break.
>>9637471Good glass shouldn't break if you drop an object onto it. IT needs to be pretty heavy or actually thrown to break glass.
buuuut, if something is heavy, it might deform the glass just a tiny bit and can cause the glass to shatter randomly later.
People overload their shelves. Detolf shelves are only rated for 10lbs. Pretty light, yet people do pic.
It won't break right away, but there's microscopic cracks forming and will break randomly one day.
