The product, in the report: Besta TV stand purchased from Ikea with optional glass topper.
I purchased a Besta TV stand from Ikea in early 2015, assembled it according to the packaged instructions, put an appropriately sized TV on it and have been using it without worry ever since. The TV stand is sturdy wood construction with a glass plate on top. At 11:30pm last night, I heard a loud crash, got out of bed and went downstairs to investigate. The glass topper had spontaneously and violently shattered, throwing shards of glass in a five foot radius around the TV stand! There had been no signs of damage when I installed this item, nor had the glass sustained any damage after installation. There is absolutely no reason the glass should have shattered like this. There were no injuries, but only because nobody was in the room when this incident occurred. If my six year old daughter had been awake, chances are she would have been badly injured because we spend much of our family and play time in the room where this furniture is located. I did my best to clean up, but after vacuuming several times, I am still coming across random shards of glass in my living room carpet. We will be wearing shoes in the living room until I am confident all the glass is gone. I picked glass out of my daughter’s toys and found some on the couch across the room from the TV as well.
