It just stayed there in its frame. It looked pretty cool, even if it was a tad dangerous. I know I made sure I never pressed or leaned against it!

Maybe 1.5m wide and 2m tall. I think someone closed it too hard and it shattered into tiny, centimeter-sized pieces but they stayed in place like that for years until my dad finally got around to replacing it. I always wondered why it didn’t fall apart. Sounds like it remained jammed despite being broken!
