    I am not generally adverse to risk, but large glass frightens me.

    I could see using that for plywood, but not likely up a staircase...... unless it was a rental and I didn't care about corner gouges...

    That is at least a 200 lb sheet of glass he is carrying.

    I was wondering how much it might weigh.

    Since different sheets of glass or different types of glass can have varying densities, I used the tempered glass density of about 157 lbs. per cubic foot. it weighs a tad more than that but bonehead math is close enough since some glass can weigh as much as 231 lbs cu ft (Flint) or a little as 137 for (silica)
    Assuming the sheet is 4ftx8ft x 1/2" we are looking at around 208 lbs. A full load for most strong healthy men.
