Cabinets and ShowcasesView our Cabinets and Showcases category |
Display cabinets and showcases (also called "curio cabinets") are designed to hold items of value. Whether the value of the item is just your own sentimental attachment and pride, or a strong dollar value that earns you the respect of your peers, there are display cabinets on the market that will do your prized possessions justice. The important thing is finding a showcase that matches your expectations for how your items should be displayed.
Types & Styles of Showcase Cabinets
As you search for the perfect showcase, keep the following guidelines in mind: Usually display cases are used to hold valuable items and merchandise, including retail goods and family heirlooms. Showcases are used to display jewelry, sunglasses, antiques, and other treasures or easily breakable items.
Depending on your needs, you can find display cabinets and showcases available in floor standing (either low or tower style), wall-mounted and countertop varieties. Almost all display cases come with built-in lighting to really make your treasures sparkle, although it is often possible to install additional track lighting in some units for an extra bit of dazzle.
Materials & Hardware
Display cabinets and showcases are manufactured using the same materials as other popular furniture pieces. Hardwood, medium density fiberboard (MDF), wood veneers, metal and glass are all popular choices. When shopping for your curio cabinet or showcase, consider matching it to the furniture you already have in your home for a seamless look, but keep in mind that awards and plaques are best set against wooden display cases.
Often cabinets and display cases feature glass shelving as the top choice, but there are as many types of shelving available as there are showcases. Customers usually have the option of customizing their cabinet by choosing not only the kind of shelves they want, but also add-ons such as mirrored backs, specialty locks and risers.
No matter what kind of showcase suits your style, take pride in your possessions by exhibiting them with the elegance they deserve. Invest in a showcase or display cabinet to really let your stuff shine!
