Entertainingly, local code requires either partial glass walls, frosted glass, or stickers on the glass to avoid people walking into them. :-) On Monday, April 3, 2017 at 8:15:14 PM UTC+2, Jerome wrote: > > I agree x100…if it’s glass all the way around. > I’ve been using glass on just one wall and the feedback has been > excellent.
