Hey guys, I am looking for a way to make or buy some props that need to be easily broken. More spacifically I need some bar stools, beer bottles, shot glass and mugs. It's for a bar fight scene. I didn't know if there are companies that deal with this type of prop. I've heard that sugar glass used in films is rather expensive. I'd rather not use real glass if possible for obvious reasons. The bar stools, I might be able to find some generic ones and put some relief cuts in them so they break a bit easier, but didn't know how realistic that would look. If anyone has some experience with this please help me out. Thanks for your time.
Breakable Props?

I thought those breakable furniture props were made out of balsa wood. Even scored, it would hurt like hell to get smacked with real wood, I'd think. And if it splinters right, could still impail someone.
Maybe this will help on the glass:
