But I too would be very interested to know what glue is used... more for off-gassing reasons. That's a lot of surface area, and therefore a lot of glue, and you'd be breathing it. I'm guessing the designer has used something relatively eco-friendly. I agree with the comment above... it seems a good used for collagen-based glues, which at least aren't derived from petrochemicals or other synthetics with toxic production methods. As for spills, I have something like this and you just use trays or plexi or glass squares on top. It supports them just fine. I want one.

What?No-one uses horses in glue in this day and age - that's an urban legend. Most glues are made of synthetic chemicals and resins. I've heard that some types of glues use collagen which is a by-product from the cattle/meat industry. If there is any animal in your glue - it is more likely to be a cow. However, unless you are the type of person who boycotts leather, it's hard to find issue with this. I'm a vegetarian, and I think this is kind of gross but at least it makes better use of all the "parts" that come from the nasty meat industry. At least its recycling?? ;) Uh horses? What?

It would be a nifty project for elementary school kids in art class to make furniture out of “garbage” that the school could use.
