This is the cheapest curio canbinet that we had come across, this product has an average rating of 4.1 stars out of 5 on Amazon with more than 800 customer reviews and its being amazon’s choice.
It has 3 glass shelves with each having a weight capacity of 33 lbs, it is covered by glass on 4 sides with a supporting frames between it, and is small in size.
The top and bottom are made in wood with plastic laminated on it.
The glass door has magnet to hold it from opening and it doesn’t comes with a safety lock so if you want to keep a costly collection this doesn’t provide any security form theft,
apart from that the look is awesome and the black colored frame, top and bottom looks great and i love it.
What is like
- Cost is very cheap and worth for the money you spend,
- Looks attractive,
- If you want to keep a bigger collection, you could remove one or even two shelves inorder to make space for the bigger one,
- It is very stable, even placing it on a carpet will not make it fall for any reason,

If you wanna place the led lights this 0.2 mm gap will be helpful to enhance the cabinet.
What i like
