Beware cabinets that appear cheaper - they are cheaper because they are cutting corners:

• They often use glass that is not toughened. This is dangerous as if it breaks it goes into shards that can kill you or your loved ones. Our glass is all toughened, and, if it does break, is designed to shatter rather than splinter.
• They use thinner glass. The glass in our cabinets is 7.1mm and 6.0mm tempered glass. Our shelves are rated at 120kgs each!
• They use inferior components. Locks, hinges, rollers, shelf supports, wheels, lights are all inferior. These won't last as long.
• Most of the companies selling cheap cabinets are traders, not specialists. We sell glass cabinets. We know our products, and we stand behind our products. It is better to spend a little more money now and get good quality that will last than buy a cheap cabinet and have it damaged and/or break after a short time of use.

Showcases Direct specialises in frameless all-glass display cabinets.

Please bear in mind that, because of their size and weight, glass cabinets cannot be put on a normal courier but must be delivered by a freight company. Their delivery schedules are nowhere near as regular or reliable as couriers, so I can't guarantee delivery on a particular day or time.
