Default Will a full glass front be stable?

I'm planning on having a viv built and what i was hoping was that the front would be full glass so that i get to see the reps as much as possible.

My intention was to have a solid panel of glass running the length of the viv at the top and the bottom, fixed in place with runners on all sides. They wouldn't be removeable.

In between them i would have the sliding glass doors, framed again on all sides with glass runners. The top and bottom runners would be back to back with the solid panel runners and runners at the sides would be glued in place.

Would that be stable?

Thanks

Heres a better one, think this is what ya trying to achieve, the front is held in by runners as you can see, should be ok just make sure everythin is well sealed with some rreally strong glue, check out the DIY shops for the best sort, explain what its for and they'll sort somethin for ya. Good luck anyhow

Thanks for the pics

The glass one kinda shows what i'm after more on the front, but i'm after the rest of it being wooden.

If it can work with glass being held together with silicon glue then it should be fine with wood i reckon. I was just nervous off the whole front falling out lol
