I bought two of these as my daughter has accumulated many beautiful minerals and fossils. I was concerned about the size being too small but they are the perfect size. She put them together by herself using a wall for stability until she got the top on. She didn't use the two plastic pieces that hold the two side and back pieces of glass together. They were a tad too big and didn't fit in the track. Instead we used small pieces of clear tape which works very well. You can't see the tape at all. The glass is very thick. The cabinets are very sturdy and I'm very pleased with them. The style is such that they can be placed in almost any decor. If I had room I would order more of them!
