How strong is the glass bowl, in case something fell into it?

Fortunately, it has not been tested frequently but it appears solid and we are very happy with the entire unit.

It seems pretty strong, but it is glass and I could see it breaking if a heavy enough object fell into it hard.

The glass bowl is pretty strong and it's a decent thickness. That being said though, no matter how strong the glass is, if you drop something into it that's heavy enough and large enough, it's going to break. Smaller items though, not a problem at all. My wife and I would highly recommend this unit.

The bowl is seems very strong and thick. Of course we have not had an incident of something falling on it. This sink is beautiful, modern yet rustic. We have it in our cabin.

To me they are sturdy, but not awkward to handle, if that's what you're asking. The metal doesn't flex or give, but they are not heavy in weight. That is, they are lighter than the equivalent size glass mixing bowl.

It will break, I have broken two glasses by just slightly hitting the side of my sink

Yes, it seems unbreakable. It is not glass but plastic, and only strong force would crack it.

I don't know but it's pretty hard and durable plastic at the top of the glass. I have no concerns of it breaking

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.

Yeah I dropped mine on the side, hit the edge of a table landed face down on the floor. Witch was hard tile. It being made of gorilla glass I dont think it will break or crack.

if the neck is round, it will hold. but i have had some trouble with glass being too heavy in general

I feel like you could break it, particularly at the bend of the base. But I don't feel like if it fell off a table it would shatter or anything. It feels more like hard plastic than glass in my opinion.

Not fragile at all -- you'd have to drop on a hard floor to break. About as thick and heavy as a coffee mug.

It is made of plastic, so it's light and a little bendable. I'm sure if you bend this hard enough, it will break (but not shatter).

Yes but it's quite thin so I'm sure It would still shatter. I hope this helps :)

It seems to be sturdy, but it is glass so I had to actually move it to a place where I wouldn't have to move it. It's in my utility room/pantry now so I don't have to constantly move it.

Sorry I can't say for sure. I only have a 1/2 inch glass on top. 500lbs. Sounds like a lot. The metal is hollow not solid.

the base is glass, but it's really thick so it would be hard to break unless you purposely throw it hard on the ground

I don't know for sure but I would think it would. I have glass bowls in mine and it does find with the weight. Also the construction is first rate and heavy duty.

The glass is tough. I have had it on rig for about 6months And it has seen some abuse. Still in great shape.
