| How the HECK did this happen? Yes, I realize that this is the third thread I've started in 15 minutes, but listen to this... I walk up the stairs to my apartment and walk into my bedroom. I have two dressers; one is tall and one is wide with a mirror. The tall one somehow tumbled over (no idea how this happened at ALL). Well, my entire antique green glass collection was on topic of it and most of my pieces, including my most favorite piece were shattered all over the carpet. On top of that, Stewie grabbed a piece and ran with it. He's ok. No cuts or anything, but I am DEVASTATED. I live upstairs from my dad and I ran down there to ask him if he knew what the hell happened and he said he heard a thud earlier, but thought it was something outside. I've been collecting green glass for about 10 years now. I am so upset and confused as to how it could have toppled over like that

| In case you dont know what I'm talking about when I say "green glass", here's an example. I like unusual pieces: http://www.twocatsandagirl.com/image...2020040817.jpg

| Nothing insured I can barely insure myself It was more of a sentimental value. I dont even know if they were worth anything monetarily honestly.

| So sorry for you in losing your special collection! I'm so glad no one was hurt! I can't imagine how something could just fall like that. I know sometimes, a taller piece of furniture would seem to slant forward, so I would put something under the front legs to steady it better. If yours did fall all on it's own, you should probably try to figure a way to connect it to the wall or steady it better. Again, so sorry for what happened. Hugs to you! |

| Well geez, that sucks! I have a lot of sentimental things, too but luckily they aren't made of glass. (besides my heart .. okay that was corny, but seriously!) Do you remember where you bought them at? Aww, sorry about your loss but luckily noone was in the way when it fell |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | OH NO! I too collect antiques and I know the years it takes to build up your collection. You might be able to find replacement pieces on eBay and put them up in a hutch or something. That way, they can't be knocked off.
