Assessing a glass tabletop separately from its base
A glass tabletop may need different packaging from wooden or metal legs. Check the connections instead of assuming the table should travel as one piece.
Before you start
Photograph the fixings and existing edge damage. Do not attempt to separate bonded parts; seek specialist advice when needed.
Practical steps
- List a removable tabletop as a separate inventory item.
- Arrange separation so legs and fittings cannot touch the glass.
- Give the packing team the tabletop's shape, thickness and dimensions so they can assess protection.
Checks on arrival
Check edges and support surfaces before assembly. Keep pre-move photographs available to distinguish existing marks from newly observed damage.
