No one hurt Made Mar 16, 2021, sent to the company Mar 24, 2021, published by CPSC Apr 15, 2021
The product, in the report: Room and Board 28” high steel base, 17” diameter, 1/2” thick quartz and glass top Weight of top 28.2 lbs Model 429701. 633367 table top
We purchased an Aria 27” diameter table a few months ago from Room and Board Right away, one of the silicone bumpers between the quartz top and base sheared off, and Room and Board customer service said to replace it with any silicone bumper. The 4 silicone bumpers are the only thing “attaching” the top to base by shear stickiness.
Saturday evening, we were having supper with our grandchildren, 3 and 6 years old.
The 6 year old leaned on the quartz table top, it crashed down to the floor. It didn’t injure his lower extremities, nor did it injure his little sister sitting on the floor under table, nor did it dent our new floor. The pedestal jumped back several inches. A second silicone bumper had sheared off.
The children started crying, grandpa ran in to see what the big crash noise was. The six year old thought he was in trouble. We hated telling the parents about the near miss, it was so chilling.
In June, our brother had a white board fall on his head, resulting in brain and neck injury. We’re so grateful no one was injured this time.
How do you resolve this problem? Would customer service permanently attach the top to the base? I have photos to illustrate.

Hospital admission Made Jun 4, 2015, sent to the company Jun 12, 2015, published by CPSC Jul 23, 2015
The product, in the report: Room & Board “Portica Desk” Frosted Glass tabletop (60”x30”)
Product that is UNSAFE is the Frosted Glass Table Top, part of the Room & Board “L- Shaped Portica Desks”
Link: http://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/office/desks/portica-l-shaped-desks
On June 2, 2015, I lifted the 60”x30” frosted glass tabletop and moved it across the room. I held the tabletop in an upright position, slightly angled forward. The lowest corner barely touched the concrete floor I was walking on and the entire sheet of glass splintered instantaneously from the bottom up. The lower half of the tabletop hit the ground and shattered and the upper portion split into two heavy thick slabs, one in my left hand (positioned higher) and one in my right hand (positioned lower in relation to my left hand.) The EXTREMELY SHARP AND DANGEROUS thick chunk of glass in my left hand instantly tilted downward onto my right hand due to its weight and busted open my right hand, severing the tendon and nerves between my right hand thumb and the back of my wrist. I suffered an extremely deep laceration. In that same second, I pushed the two pieces of glass out of my hands and away from my body, glass crashing down and shattering everywhere. I jumped back and tightly sheltered my hand, putting pressure on the wide open gash now on my right hand. Everything happened shockingly fast. Im scheduled for hand surgery to repair my severed tendon and nerves. I have lost the function of my right thumb. I expect to wear a splint for 6 weeks after surgery and months of physical therapy to recover mobility.
