Not I. Just that out of the glass and the welds it would be my guess that the glass is the stronger of the two.

Aha. I read ya. Well, my plan is to keep stacking weight on top over a period of time yet undetermined until it gives. We'll eventually find out how much it takes and where it breaks. Fortunately, I don't need as many Detolf shelves as I used to, so sacrificing one for the greater good is no big whoop.

Its a bold undertaking, and a noble sacrifice. Crom would be proud.

That picture makes me feel so much better. Everytime I move the statues around in my detolfs I get nervous, and the ping sounds don't help. LOL

I agree with this one. Unless that the statue is "jumping up and down" all the time, there is no way a solitary and stationary piece of polystone would ever cause a glass to break. It's already properly stationed there, just like the weights on that pic.
