Source for Countertop Wooden Storage Cabinet w/ Drawers For Frames?

**Galaxy** · 04-24-2009, 09:40 PM

Hi guys, I need a countertop storage cabinet for 25+ pairs of eyeglasses, but not the typical standing clear-sided cabinet. I'm looking for a solid wooden cabinet with drawers and dividers inside. Ones I have seen in shops before have little "cubbies" in the drawers and top that separate the eyeglasses. If you know a good source for these, please post here. Thank you!

Depends how many you need :)

If you need cabinets in bulk try these...

If you only need 1 try this...

The $119.00 cabinet fits my needs in the past and would hod 3-4 frames per slot.

Thanks, braheem. I only need one or two, so the alibaba stuff where you order 10 cheap ones form China doesn't appeal to me. All the cabinets in your 2nd link are out of stock, and seem more like standing rather than countertop cabinets. Thank you for the links, however. I guess I should say my ideal cabinet is a coutertop unit with 2-3 drawers and is of high quality, preferably U.S. made. Thanks

Iv'e got some used ones. They are solid wood. 2 stand against the wall and are "accordian" style.

The other one sits flat and has drawers (I think 2 or three) that pull out. It's about 12"X12" and aobut 8" high.

Also try your local cabinet makers. They can do wonders for you.

Bingo. You most likely have a cabinet maker among your customers. It makes a nice tradesman's swap. Glasses for cabinets (or whatever.) We had some of the most beautiful and functional work benches and dispensing tables made by a retired cabinet maker some forty years ago. Today, the stuff looks as good as the day it was installed.

Of course this may be problematic today. Just as its hard to find real opticians these days it is probably difficult to find a real cabinet maker. Maybe in Tennessee though . . .
