The wooden display cabinets are given different finishes like painting, polishing and varnishing, waxing, oiling, veneer, and many other finishes. The size of the cabinet varies and it mainly depends on the size of the room in which it is kept. The shapes can be square or rectangular. In some cases the entire front portion of the cabinet is of glass. In some other cases, only one portion of the cabinet is in glass while the other portion has built in drawers, ideal place for stowing away the items you'd rather not have on display. The inside of the cabinet has glass or wooden shelves.
