Coaster Home Furnishings Cyclamen 64-inch 5-Tier Clear Tempered Glass Curio Cabinet Display Case with Shelving Black 950171

This curio is the perfect size for my display items and it looks great when lit up with puck lights. See photos. I even put a couple of figures on top of it. Assembly was a little challenging… certain steps in the instructions weren’t explained very well — or at all — which led to me installing one of the side panels upside down. I had to disassemble it and do it again the correct way. Also, it was a little scary unpackaging and handling all of that glass during assembly. Just make sure you have a helper to hold the really heavy pieces in place while you’re tightening screws. I’m really happy with the look and feel of it and I especially like that it has five shelves, not four, to hold all of my stuff. It’s quite heavy and feels really solid with the glass shelves in place so there’s no chance of accidentally knocking it over. The doors open and close smoothly and it seems to be very well designed. To be honest, it looks like I spent a fortune on this curio when I didn’t. Even my wife really loves this thing and has complimented me on it several times. Very happy with this purchase and would buy it again without hesitation.

Beautiful cabinet! Gotta love the glass and it was very easy to assemble. What's better is the price was very good.

Arrived with a box within a box within a box protection. Think they had to use a full roll of packing tape like it was a challenge. Took more time to remove the outer 2 boxes than to assemble this thing.Put it together last night, so while it is fresh, I'll add some comments about the instructions.Had all the pages of the assembly instructions. I suppose that is better than missing the last page. The following instructions were performed by 1 person. 4 harnds would have made this a little easier, I suppose.Don't touch the glass with any part of your body. Use line gloves or the paper used to keep the glass apart during shipping.There are 3 sizes to the tall glass. The shelves are easy, so we'll ignore those. All the glass has "tempered glass" stickers on them. I didn't remove any and placed those on the bottom, outside for easy removal later with a razor.Compare the 4 larger, heavier glass pieces.* 2 smaller ones are for the sides - set those aside.* widest 1 is for the back (387mm) - yes that is the size* 2nd widest is for the front door (just 5mm smaller) - set is aside2 wood planks* Bottom has 4 small screw holes for the "feet" - that's how to tell them apart. Mine had a big white sticker with info on it.* other one is the top.Put the bottom wood and 2 wooden sides together. This is easy. Tighten the bottom as far as possible (but don't strip the wood). I don't think there is a top/bottom/in/out for the sides. Put the top on, but only get it started with the screws. It needs to be loose. Put the cheap-o plastic feet on the bottom. This must be done after the wood sides are screwed in. You'll see why.Take the 2 plastic corner pieces and follow the instructions putting those into each side of the largest glass piece. There is a nice image to show which way to do that in the instructions. The only trick to his is to leave about 2-3mm from the glass end where you start the plastic insert. This is important so the glass fits into the back groves of both the top and bottom wood panels. I had to redo both plastic parts because I made the plastic flush with the end of the glass. Inserting the plastic into the groves on both sides is pretty easy.Stand up the wood like it will be finished. Place the back glass into the bottom groove of the bottom wood panel and tighten the top wood panel to hold it in place, just barely. Do not tighten the top fully at this point.Pick one of the side panels and slip it into the plastic groove for that side while standing up. Start from the bottom and use both the wood panel groove and the plastic as the guide. I checked how far the glass was inserted using finger nails. Most of the time, it would connect easily halfway up, then I had to coax it with pressure and slight taps to get it in all the way. Once the side glass was in all the way, tighten that side of the top wooden panel as tight as possible, without stripping the screws. I found it helpful to shake the entire cabinet to get the glass seating into the top/bottom wood panels correct.Do the same with the other side panel. 3 sides done. Tighten all the top screws a much as possible, but do not strip them. Again, I found it helpful to shake the entire cabinet to get the 3 glass sheets to seat correctly into the groves.Shelves12 soft plastic tabs are provided for the glass shelves to sit on. Place 2 of these onto each wooden shelf holder, so the shelves sit on the soft plastic, not on the wood. The instructions called this "suction cups" ... whatever. I placed each in the center of the wood and about 1/3rd from the front/back of the cabinet. Next, carefully place each shelf into the cabinet. I fulled them all the way to the front, since my collectables work best that way.The door. This is tricky. Do this away from the cabinet:* Insert all the hardware into the 4 corners of the case - 2 magnets, 2 hinge pieces.* With the glass, attach the 2 thin metal stays, horizontally to the top and bottom corners by pulling off the adhesive paper. You want these to be flush with the top and bottom side corners. The metal is there to protect the glass from screws being tightened. Screw in the bottom hinge flush with the corner of the glass.* On the opposite side of the glass, attach the bottom chrome using the foam and peal-off adhesive. This is placed on the bottom corner, horizontally.* On the top of the glass, attach the top chrome "handle" using the foam and peal-off adhesive. This is placed on the top corner, horizontally.* Now take the bottom hinge and carefully place it onto the glass with the thin metal stay flush with the corner. Screw in 2 screws tightly - so they won't move, ever.At this point, 3 corners have metal hardware attached with adhesive and 1 of those corners has 2 screws holding the hinge hardware tightly. The 4th corner just has a metal stay barely attached with adhesive.Time to move this glass to the cabinet.Because the top hinge is floating, it cannot be attached before placing the glass in-place for the bottom hinge. Insert the 2 screws into the top hinge and screw them in far enough to stay. Test this on the glass before moving it to the cabinet. There needs to be plenty of room, so the metal stay isn't moved during the insertion later.Pick up the glass sheet and carefully place the bottom hinge into the already inserted plastic hinge-holder in the bottom wood panel. Then take the top hinge and insert it into the top 'hinge-holder' (already inserted into the top wood panel) and slide the glass carefully into the hinge. This will hold the top hinge into the hinge-holder. Align the top hinge with the top corner of the glass sheet and verify the metal stay is still located flush to the corner. Quickly tighten the 2 screws that hold the top hinge to the glass.Using the top handle and bottom chrome protector, close the door. This will be difficult because the magnetic stops probably didn't fully seat into the top and bottom wood panels. Open and close the door completely a few times. Notice how far the door will open and if anything could scratch or break the door.That completes the assembly. I hope someone finds these helpful.Why only 4 stars? Poor instructions. Also, I chipped the glass door (2/3 up, left side) trying to install everything on-the-cabinet, when most of the door hardware should have been attached away from the cabinet and only the final step of door placement (final hinge connection) should have been done near the cabinet.I'll try to add some closeup photos later.

So, you want to buy a glass display cabinet eh? You set out on your internet quest, and after much googling, you land here, on this 33" glass display cabinet. Some assembly required, it says.Well, I bought 3 of these on a whim. They arrived on a blustery, rainy day, unceremoniously thumped down on my porch by UPS upside down and ignorant to the "fragile" logo emblazoned on the box. Yikes.I attempt to drag them inside. 50lbs either got heavier since I last lifted it, or the shape makes these boxes truly unruly. Either way, they weigh a lot. Much huffing and puffing found them in my hobby space finally.Open up the package, sort out the contents, and assemble the first one. This is where things start to go south. For starters, the instruction manual is poor, bordering on intentionally malicious. The bag of hardware is mercifully easy to comprehend, but the instructions themselves make very little sense, and the 4 screws for the feet of the cabinet I'm almost positive are the wrong length or the hole isn't predrilled far enough. My first cabinet involved assembling the base, slotting the rear glass pane in, attaching little plastic strips to the glass, taking off plastic strips because they're on backwards, reattaching plastic strips, and then trying with all my might to shove the side glass panels into the second channel slot while also seating it on the plastic strip, just like the instructions say. I would say I worked at this cabinet for a solid hour until I finally got it together. I looked in despair at the two other boxes left to open and assemble. I was going to be here all day.Then, I had an epiphany. The instructions were bad, but that doesn't mean I have to use them! The instruction manual was written by someone who either enjoys watching people in pain, or is otherwise a masochist. If the sir or madame that designed the instruction book happens to be reading this, then I'm sorry to inform you of this, but it's true. So... I redid the instruction manual. This doubly saves time, and the shame of being subjected to dissapointed head shakes of your significant other as they watch you fight with a cabinet for an hour.Steps below:Take out the two bases. Take out the two legs. Lean the to tall, thin glass panels somewhere. Lean the slighter wider, short glass panel somewhere. Lean the wide, tall glass panel somewhere.Assemble the base, the legs, and the two supports. Leave the lid off.Put the two plastic strips on the largest glass panel.Do not at this point, attempt to put that panel on the base. Resist! Instead, take one of the side panels, and fit it into the plastic channel now, forming an L shape. Take the third glass panel, and fit it into the plastic. You will now have a U shape that is held together by plastic strips.Lift this whole thing into the base and simply set it in the slot.There you go. I just saved you a lot of time, effort, swearing, sweating, and embarrassment.Fit the lid on. Put the shelves in.Put the magnets and hinge points in.To attach the door, do not attempt to do the entire thing while hanging on to a glass panel.Lay the thing on your lap (the glass panel for the door) and put the two little adhesive metal plates on the top and bottom corners. Then, attached the lower hinge to the glass while it's still on your lap. Doesn't matter where really, just best guess. Then, take the two screws for the top hinge and start them in the hinge slightly.Lean the door into the lower hinge point, tilt up and then simply tighten upper hinge to secure door with absolutely zero frustration. If the door is crooked, slightly loosen a single hinge, slide door in or out, tighten, repeat on second hinge until door is level.Put metal contact points on door, and boom, done in 10 minutes.Do not listen to the actual manual. It tells you terrible terrible lies that will make you curse the day you bought these things. Do it the easy way, and thank me later.Good cabinets, would buy again, terrible instructions, but common sense assembly saves the day.
