What People Are Saying About This Corner Curio Cabinet 

You get what you pay for but it does the job...
I read the reviews and size specs so I knew it was small and not well painted but to hide a few of my bathroom items I was okay with that. It is indeed small...my medium size facial wash didn't fit inside. The paint dotes seem to come off a little if your hands are wet when touching the knobs, so don't put this is an area where it'll get wet. My cabinet is already starting to exhibit a little crack and there is nothing heavy inside but it has helped to organize my bathroom which doesn't have a medicine cabinet. For larger items you can cut out the middle shelf if you are a little handy and have tools.

Overall, it does the job but you get what you pay for. I like it but it's not top quality.

It's cute
This cabinet got a lot of negative reviews. It is scratched because that is the look, sort of distressed. The paint is weird, it is dusty & comes off on your hand so I don't know what that's about. China poisoning us again I suppose. Maybe it is painted and then sanded? However, it was a lot bigger than I expected. For $12 I expected something really little. It has a good amount of space on the inside. The legs aren't quite even but for $12...I use it to store my aquarium supplies & it looks good so I'm happy!
This item was perfect for what we needed it for. The shipping was fast and the items arrived without any damage. Thank you!

Corner Curio Cabinet is small.........
I like the cabinet, its cute, but its very tiny. Wow I didn't expect it to be so small. I guess I got carried away by the price,but it is worth the price. I received fast and it was in good condition; no scrathes or anything. Plus no need to assemble it.
I bought this cabinet because my bathroom is long and skinny. With nowhere to hide an extra roll of TP I decided to try a little cabinet. I'm glad I did. This thing is LITTLE. I can fit two double rolls per shelf, but nothing larger or the doors pop open. I like that the shelves allow for a bit of organization if you want to use it to hold both TP and feminine products and/or flushable wipes for kids. It came fully assembled, which was nice.

Corner curio cabinet  
I guess it is my fault for not reading the item description completely before purchasing, but this is a very small "cabinet". It is very cute and very nice, but not what I was expecting.

Read the Measurements
Pretty cabinet BUT very - and I do mean very small - reminds me of a jewelry box.
I have one of those modern bathrooms where the architect forgot to put in a medicine cabinet!! Either way I ordered this as a make shift cabinet, it serves it's purpose but it is not pretty or well made. Some parts are not sanded and it looks like i was painted by a five year old (and no it's not part of the antique look). If your desperate for a medicine cabinet go to Target gut out a jewelry box and you'll get better quality and it will be cheaper.    
I bought this from amazon and it turned out to be the worst online purchase ever. it had scratches all over the place and the curio is nothing but a wooden structure painted with god knows what. its not a shiny paint, more like limestone which sticks to your hand. so anyone even thinking of buying this, PLEASE DONT.

Wood Corner Cabinets Protect and Display Your Cherished Items

Throughout our lives, we come upon many items that we grow to cherish as the years go by.  Whether those items are heirlooms passed down by beloved relatives, trinkets acquired on our travels around the world, or maybe that fine china received as a wedding gift, the key to its appreciation is finding just the right spot for its display.  However, many of us have limited space in our homes and may not be able to dedicate that valuable space to simply showing off a collection that serves little or no other function.  Well, by utilizing a wood corner cabinet for this purpose, you will likely be taking advantage of space that is otherwise wasted.

If you stop right now and look around your home, I bet you will notice that many of the rooms have corners that are not being utilized.  Where before, they would continue to remain under used, now you can place a piece of fine furniture in one of those corners that will very likely become the room's focal point as it will be displaying items that will likely draw the attention of friends and family alike.

Wood corner cabinets are available in many different styles, types of wood, and several finishes.  For instance, you may choose a cabinet that is completely open from top to bottom and has several shelves for display.  You may prefer a corner cabinet that has solid doors on the bottom that can be closed to conceal items stored there along with open shelves above.  Also, those shelves could be covered with glass doors that serve to protect the items you have on display while allowing the items to be enjoyed even with the doors closed.  Or, you may also choose to have a display case that has glass doors that run from bottom to top allowing for the display of those special items throughout the entire case.

Once the style is determined, you can go about finding a unit that matches the decor of the rest of your home.  Again, this should not be an issue since these units are manufactured with just that intent in mind.  You will also be able to choose from an array of different options in your wood corner cabinet such as removable shelving, mirrored backs and built in lighting.

As you can see, should you decide to utilize one of these great pieces of functional furniture, your choices will be many.  Wood corner cabinets will also serve to protect your cherished collection by providing them with not only a place for their display, but also a place that is dedicated for that sole purpose.  This prevents the items from being moved unnecessarily thus helping to ensure that they are protected from breakage so they may be enjoyed for many years to come and continue to be items passed along to other members of your future family.

Include Kitchen Corner Cabinets for a Modern Kitchen Design

If you are designing a new kitchen or remodeling and replacing your present kitchen cabinets, you are in a great position to take advantage of one of today's great kitchen ideas by installing kitchen corner cabinets.  This innovative idea allows you to easily see and reach those items that would normally work their way to the back of where your cabinets normally meet in a corner.  That is if your cabinets are even open in a corner.  Otherwise, the corner is just dead space that can easily be utilized by incorporating a corner cabinet into your new kitchen cabinet design.

Most people have lots of kitchen utensils that have very specialized uses and therefore, are seldom utilized.  A corner kitchen cabinet makes a great place to store these seldom used items thus making them easy to locate when needed.  In addition to storing these specialized utensils, kitchen corner cabinets are ideal for storing those oddly shaped serving dishes and that large stack of mixing bowls that just seems to take up too much space in your other wall cabinets.

The use of kitchen corner cabinets is not confined to just the cabinets lining the walls of your kitchen.  These type cabinets are also finding their way into kitchen islands also.  With the unique design features in modern kitchens, islands have taken on many shapes and are presenting home owners with many choices in the layout of their designs.  This new found flexibility allows the designer to incorporate unique ideas such as wine racks, bookshelves or maybe a Lazy Susan into the kitchen island.

From the storage of pots and pans, to the display of fine collectibles, or anything in between, these custom cabinets add lots of style, storage and flexibility to your kitchen cabinet design.  As you can see, the possibilities abound when you utilize that dead space found in many cabinet designs by choosing to install kitchen corner cabinets.

A Tall Corner Cabinet - Style and Function

Many homes today are taking advantage of the visual effect that taller ceilings can provide.  The days of the eight foot ceiling are becoming things of the past in homes built in recent years as homeowners commonly began to want nine and even ten foot ceilings throughout at least the first floor of their homes.  One of the issues these taller ceilings present is the additional wall space above the furnishings that normally occupy rooms with ceilings that are not as tall.

Of course, the area of the room that sometimes stands out as appearing empty in a room with eight foot ceilings is magnified even more in rooms with taller ceilings and that is a corner.  Luckily, this issue can easily be addressed with the addition of a tall corner cabinet.  Corner cabinets are a great solution to furnishing a part of the room that is always a problem and that is sometimes difficult to address.  However, no matter the room or its function, manufacturers are providing a cabinet for the corner that can easily meet the room function.

For instance, in the family room or den, you could add a tall corner cabinet to house the television or one just to display your collectibles.  In the kitchen or dining room, a corner cabinet could provide storage for those seldom used items or could also display that fine china that has never had a display space before.  In the bathroom, a cabinet for your towels and other linens can be placed in a corner and be especially functional and provide for additional storage which is always difficult in these smaller spaces.

These tall corner cabinets are available in many different styles and finishes.  You could choose to have a cabinet that has shelves for display from top to bottom and is completely open or one that has full length glass doors to help prevent the collection of dust.  There are also models that have solid doors on the bottom half with open or glass door enclosures on the top.  As you can see, no matter the way in which you may need to utilize one of these cabinets, there is a unit available that will not only help display or store your items, but will do so in such a way as to add a little extra style in that empty corner that you were looking to fill.

A Space Saving Corner TV Cabinet Could Be for You

While we may all have the desire to have a large, dedicated media room for entertainment purposes, most of us will have to be happy with a nice entertainment setup in the family room or den.  Some of us are lucky and are able to hang a new flat screen television on the wall or even above the fireplace.  But again, not all have that luxury either and seek a solution that will serve the need of housing a nice television and all the components needed for our viewing pleasure today without overwhelming the space.  Luckily, there is a solution that could be the answer.  A corner TV cabinet can house your flat screen television as well as that cable or satellite box along with your DVD player or blu-ray player in addition to utilizing wall space in the most efficient manner.

You may be thinking that your choices will be somewhat limited when you set out to purchase a corner TV cabinet.  However, I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the many units that are available on the market today.  You will see units that range from just a set of shelves for your television and other components to rest upon all the way to full fine furniture pieces that you can be proud to display in any decor.  For instance, I am sure you have all seen an armoire style television cabinet designed with either two doors on top and two doors on the bottom or two doors that run the entire height of the cabinet.  Yes, there are quite a few armoire units designed to fit nicely into the corner of your family room.

If you prefer to have an open corner TV cabinet, those are available also.  They provide the same functionality of the armoire units, only minus the doors.  The units that are designed with the new flat screen televisions in mind allow you to have the TV sit on a shelf inside or on top of the unit or some require the television to be mounted on the rear wall of the unit.  You will also find units that are shelves or a cabinet below with a vertical flat or round pole extending above the unit on which to mount a flat screen TV.  The pole provides an open chase that allows you to hide the mass of wires used to connect your components to the TV.

Interestingly, there are also units manufactured that are bedroom height which place the television at the optimum viewing height when you are lying in bed.  All of these units are available in several different sizes and widths as well as different types of woods and finishes.  You will also find a corner unit manufactured in just about any style ranging from Quaker to Mission and most everything in between allowing you to easily match the design of the remainder of your furniture.  As you can see, with a little time and effort, you should be able to locate a beautiful space-saving corner TV cabinet that will serve the dual purpose of providing a nice place to house the components of your entertainment system and also help save that valuable space we all covet so much.
