Glass Display Cabinets with Doors

Glass Display Cabinets: Show off What You Have at Home

Cabinets' usefulness for storing things is perfectly obvious, but sometimes, there's a need for storage space that has more than a purely and narrowly utilitarian function. If you have certain beautiful or eye-catching items that you'd like to put on display while at the same time ensuring that they are kept safe, a glass display cabinet of one sort or another is a perfect option. Before you set out searching for the perfect cabinet on eBay, however, let us give you some important information to guide and orient you in your search.

Some general stylistic features

Even a cursory glance at the eBay listings will show you that glass display cabinets with doors are made in a diverse variety of styles. Here are some of the more general stylistic features and variations that you can expect to encounter:

• General Shape: The most common form the glass storage cabinet takes is that of a long, tall, slender glass box. Those that include a set of cabinets or drawers at the bottom, however, tend to be significantly wider. There are also some smaller, shorter all-glass cabinets with wide shelves. Hexagonal glass cabinets also exist.
• Door Styles: On those cabinets in which everything but the frame is made of glass, there are usually all-glass doors. The wider wooden display cabinets that include shelves at the bottom will also have glass doors, but those doors will be framed in wood.
• Shelf Numbers: The tall and slender display cabinets have four-shelf and seven-shelf options. Wooden cabinets with drawers usually position their drawers at the bottom, but there might also be a case where, for example, the left side consists of only wooden drawers while the right side is a giant glass door enclosing glass shelves.

How big can these display cabinets get?

For exact measurements on everything, we always recommend consulting the manufacturer's website. With that said, however, there are tall and thin cabinets that are about 172 centimetres tall and 58 centimetres wide, hexagonal cabinets that are about 172 centimetres tall and 71 centimetres wide, large cabinets with storage shelves that are approximately 183 centimetres tall and 80 centimetres wide, and many other varieties. Nevertheless, these figures should provide a taste of what's available.

What kinds of colour options are available?

Glass shelves, doors, and windows in these cabinets are obviously all transparent, but the frames can be any of a variety of different colours. Black, white, grey, and silver are the most common frame colours, but you can also find silver, black, yellow, red, and a few other colours. Also, drawers and wooden doors -- when included -- are whatever colour the wood is of which the cabinet is made. This is usually either a lighter or a darker shade of brown.
