Our Picks

31.5'' Wide Mirrored Back Curio Cabinet with Lighting

Stainless Steel Glass Display Cabinet

Chintaly Imports

Built with a polished silver stainless-steel frame, this display cabinet is elevated by full-length tempered glass doors. It includes two shelves and a six-slot rack for stemware glasses. If that isn’t enough, a five-level wine rack will hold all your favorite vintages.

Designer Advice:

As the weight capacity of this cabinet is 250lbs, you can place heavier items on the upper shelves without worrying. Books, vases, or China ornaments would look stunning. Or, match the theme of the wine rack and store bottles of your preferred spirit. The mirrored back will pick out any metallic details and make them shine even more.

Designer Advice:

If you want to save space, this cabinet is a good choice. Its hexagonal shape will fit in a corner and give any room extra depth and texture. Nevertheless, the shelves are rounded, which means we would recommend placing smaller objects at the side so they can be seen best. Books and larger items may block light.

$439.99 ~~$582~~

Designer Advice:

The slightly thicker sides of this cabinet give it a modern industrial look, though that doesn’t mean you have to stick to an industrial theme. Its black finish will pair well with both light and dark décor schemes. However, the low weight capacity of 22lbs means you can’t store items like books or heavy collectibles.

Buying Guide

When you finally decide that you need to get a new glass curio display cabinet for your home, it’s advisable that you select the right unit that can address every single one of your requirements. If you choose the wrong display cabinet, it means you’ll spend your hard-earned money and precious time on something that you don’t need.

In selecting the best glass curio display cabinet for your living spaces, the following are the points that need to be considered:

What types of glass curio display cabinets are there?

Glass curio cabinets have several different types. The most common types include upright display cases made of glass, wall-mounted display units, full-glass display units, and display corner units.

Most people consider standard freestanding cabinets. They come in standard dimensions, and they're flexible with their rectangular shape and decorative accents or carving.

To evoke a delicate impression, some freestanding units have curvy molding. They stand flat against walls to be used in storing those treasured items of yours. But, there are those who use them as partitions depending on the space available and the room size.

As for the corner curio cabinet, it’s suitable for spaces with limited floor space. As its name suggests, it’s designed to have a snug fit to a room’s corner. Its shape is triangular with a pointed angle at the back portion of the cabinet to match the angle of walls. Although people use standard cabinets for corners, a corner curio is “savvier” and more efficient in using space.

What types of shelves are best for a glass curio display cabinet?

Based on the items that you plan on displaying, you’ll find the shelving style that is perfect for your needs. To display memorabilia, tiered shelves will prove to be necessary as they can increase the impact and visibility of the displayed items. If you want the light to penetrate through the display, you can opt for glass shelving. Shelves made of glass are capable of enhancing the look of items featured in comparison to wire and wooden shelving.

Should you get a unique glass curio display cabinet?

A unique style will bring more beauty to your already beautiful display and room. To give you a concrete example, a curved glass curio cabinet will look more unique and elegant compared to the unit with the universal straight style.

Curved styles also give you a more controlled reflection that comes from the overhead lighting. Get the style that won't just suit your space, but also one that can enhance the room and your display.

Do you need light in your glass curio display cabinet?

Lighting has a gleaming and dazzling effect on displayed products. If you will display jewelry or your collection of clear/light-colored items, lighting will give extra shine and make them more appealing to your target audience.

How to ensure the security of your displayed valuables?

When you are putting up your valuables for display like precious artifacts and jewelry, you won’t sleep soundly at night if you know your collection is at risk of being stolen. It may even get broken if an unauthorized person tries to open the display case. This is why it is essential to only get the unit that comes with the safety features you require. It must be lockable and the glass must be UV bonded and toughened.
