what does my 52g weigh empty?

Sk8r · 02/27/2007, 06:29 PM

Half-inch thick glass, and I know it weighs a bit. My question is because I'm going to need to move it. We can get the piano movers to take it down our 3 flights of stairs on a piano board and get it in the new place, but ultimately during setup, we're going to have to lift it ourselves, and I'd like to have some advance knowledge how much weight that's going to be. Like a fool, I didn't retain the shipping labels and take notes. It's a wedgeshaped bowfront with very thick glass, 52g as above. My own estimate is a hundred pounds, but that's guessing.

Answer: it's actually a 54, found that out at the lfs, and the answer is 84.

probably around 500 pounds full with gravel

oops missed the empty part

Thanks, kodyboy: I'm betting 500 lbs is about right. It's 84 empty. I had to find that out for the movers...this is going to be so much fun... :|
