Know before you buy
The wood shelf tray is designed for customization, allowing you to line it with materials like felt or sand to suit your display needs. It is intended to sit within the case, but please note that the internal glass shelf is fixed.
The case features sliding glass doors on two sides, providing convenient access to your items from multiple angles. This makes it easy to rearrange your collection without needing to move the entire unit.
The unit is constructed in two separate pieces—the base and the display top—which makes it more manageable to transport. Despite its sturdy, hand-built construction, the two-piece design simplifies assembly and placement.
Because of the all-glass construction and the customizable tray, this piece is ideal for items that benefit from 360-degree visibility. It works particularly well for jewelry, minerals, small specialty collectibles, or even indoor plants.
The total height of the unit is 38.5 inches, with the display case portion measuring 20.5 inches in height and the legs accounting for 18 inches. The footprint of the unit is 28 inches wide by 21 inches deep.
