Lexan is the bullet proof version of Plexiglas. You are supposed to be able to use half the thickness of lexan as you would in Plexiglas.

Hmm, what is Lexan? I think you're right about the quarter inch not being thick enough. I'm not particularly heavy, but my chair is quite substantial. When I priced the plexiglass I asked for a quote for half inch with rounded corners. He quoted me nearly $700. I laughed and told him I had to check with my office manager, lol, that's me. Didn't want the guy to feel bad. Betsy At 09:00 AM 8/26/2009, you wrote: > > >Betsy, >I wouldn't bet on 1/4 inch plexi glass taking the weight of a chair and >person.
