Browse Display Cabinets by Collection Type
Different collections suit different cabinets. Here is what works best for the most popular types, and the cabinet to show each one off.
Posed figures look their best with space around them and a clear view of the front. Glass on every side and adjustable shelves let you set the spacing, build a scene and keep favourites at eye level.
- Adjustable shelves so shelf height matches figure height
- Glass on all sides for a clear view of poses and detail
- Built-in LED to light each figure evenly, front to back
Models are made to be seen from every angle. A glass cabinet with slim shelves lets you line up a collection, leave room between cars and catch the paint and chrome from the side.
- Slim glass shelves to fit more cars without crowding
- Open sightlines so bodywork and badges read clearly
- Spotlights to pick out chrome, gloss and contours
Signed shirts, balls and photos deserve pride of place. A taller cabinet with deeper shelves holds framed and free-standing pieces together and keeps them safe from dust and knocks.
- Deeper shelves for balls, boots and framed items
- Lockable doors to keep signed pieces secure
- Low-UV LED and a spot out of direct sun to slow fading

- Closed glass to keep dust and fingerprints away
- Shallow, even shelving sized for slabs and decks
- Low-UV LED and shade from direct sun to protect value

- Lockable doors and a compact footprint for valuables
- Eye-level shelves so detail is easy to see
- Bright, crisp LED to bring out sparkle and shine
