As the title suggest, I noticed a bubble inside the glass. The bubble looks like any air bubble and I didn’t notice it until I tried to pop it away. The glass itself is an inch or so thick and not even a year old and it’s just one bubble. Is this something to keep an eye on? I’ll post pictures once home but thought I’d ask. Return not an option as this was secondhand. Everything else is perfectly fine. Might just be the perfectionist in me.

If the bubble is in the face of a glass pane, and the size of a typical air bubble; it’s almost certainly a manufacturing defect, but shouldn’t be more than a cosmetic issue!

It’s in the middle of the glass like right in the middle if you look down the glass side. I’ve never seen anything like it but yes it’s the size of a typical air bubble. It’s the only defect I’ve found.

I wouldn’t worry about it, you’re likely the only person who even knows it exists!
