FAQ About Cabinets With Glass Shelves

Generally speaking, the cabinet's glass shelves are not delicate, as it would take incredible force or weight to break them. They are typically made from tempered glass, which is strengthened to withstand daily use and moderate impacts, making them durable and resistant to shattering. Properly installed and maintained glass shelves can provide reliable and long-lasting storage solutions.

Firstly, it’s important to note that LED lights can last many years and will gradually dim rather than abruptly stop responding. When the time comes to change the cabinet’s lights, you can purchase an installation from your preferred manufctorer, or contact Countryside for a replacement to be shipped.

Our number one quick tip for displaying items on glass shelves? Avoid overcrowding your cabinet! The benefit of glass shelves is that they suggest the concept of “floating” and provide an overall airiness; visual clutter will override the “lightness” of the glass, defeating their purpose. For more guidance on displaying items within a curio or cabinet, read How to Display China Inside Your Cabinet - Ideas and Tips.

The majority of our cabinets with glass shelves give owners the option of adjusting the placement of those shelves to best accommodate their specific belongings. The good news is that repositioning the glass shelves is a very similar process to moving wooden shelves. Simply remove the shelf brackets or supports, adjust them to the desired height, and then reattach the shelves securely.
