The durability comes with the design and the material used. As I said on another comment the first version was very fragile and was bending with barely any weight on it.

After adding a bracket to hold the glass in between it keeps its form even with food on top. It all depends on how you design the piece and in which direction you print. Not always the easiest way to print is the best for durability.
