How sturdy is the glass table top? Looks like it just sits on top, and I am concerned about my 3 kids being able to remove it easily.

The top is sturdy because it fits in a groove on top of the table. That being said, it is not difficult to slide the glass out of the groove if that is your intention. I have a four year old and an almost two year old, neither appears to have discovered this fact, so it hasn't been an issue for us. But to be clear, you have to affirmatively slide it out--it's not like the glass top will inadvertently fall out on account of a minor bump or with normal use of putting items on top of the table and removing them.

It does just sit on top. You might be able to put a drop of silicone or other adhesive on the little rubber feet the glass sits on to secure it, though.

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!

The table top is glass, so it makes it heavy. However, the chairs are on the light side (for me, that's a plus, i hate moving bulky chairs). We've had the set for over a year now, and it can get pretty windy on our Florida patio, did not have an issue with it. We absolutely love the set and received many compliments on it!

No, the glass is extremely strong. Love this table and everyone that comes over loves it. Easy to put to together.

It is pretty sturdy. Once it is in a circle formation, it would take quite a bit to take it down. I have one I will be selling if anyone is near San Diego, CA. I will be selling it cheap, $25 plus shipping, unless someone wants to pick it up.

It is very sturdy. I often use a bible, iPad and small clock timer on top. Then have a rather large cup (glass) for water on the shelf. I've even lightly leaned on it too and it's been great.

If your just using the glass top, it is very strong and should be no problem. However, I am glad I bought placemats (which came in afterwards) because I did see a few scratches on the glass from using it without protection. The scratches are minor, and after about four months of use, it still looks good. Hope this helps.

Hello. I just peeled it off, even cracked it came off in (mostly) one piece, it is hardened glass, so not to sound like your mom: be careful. Ciao

These are very very sturdy. I think it comes with screws. Its been a few years and they are still like brand new and I have 4 kids, ages 6-13, who use them everyday at our table.

I'm pretty sure it's tempered glass so it's not like plate glass that would break very easily. Also, its set down in a metal rim and the legs are very sturdy. We have a lot of wind where I live and this table has never blown over.

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.

It is sturdy...we sit on top of it to put on our shoes. It will depend on what type of floor it will be on as to whether it can be pushed around. However, it is heavy but nothing is toddler proof.

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!

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.

The legs on the table are very sturdy so the table does stay in place. However, I think the glass is rather thin and a hyperactive 7 year old could pull it over. It works fine for my husband and I (we LOVE the table) but I'm just not sure it would work for young children if they leaned or pulled on the glass.
