Is this curio cabinet sealed pretty well between the cracks (glass) so it doesn't let dust in, I don't like my collectibles getting dusty when enclosed in a curio cabinet. The one I have lets too much dust in therefore I'm looking for a different one...

Mine works beautifully with no dust issues, but I would see what the others say.

well, some of mine were intact so i followed that example. i would assume that if they were all at the bottom of the box, that the glass was completely loose?! you kind of push them up against the glass and into the track and then slide them left or right until they are wedged in tight. i think there were 2 or 3 on a side. it's been fine since then. i hope that helps you

We also are seniors. They deliver it and open the box and put it where you want it. Everything is in place as is with the exception of the glass...which is individually wrapped....All you do is slide the glass into the proper grove...Very simple...It looks lovely with the mirror in the back reflecting all the glassware...Very pleased with this cabinet.

It looks like the glass is held into place by a simple rubber seal around the edges of the opening in the door on the side facing into the cabinet (i.e. not visible with the doors closed). We think the rubber seal could pretty easily be removed, which would free the glass and leave the door/wood frame intact. We didn't actually try to remove the seal, but it definitely looks doable, and it looks like removing the seal and glass would expose up to 1/4" lip to attach something else to.

You have to put this cabinet together and it took my late husband quite awhile to get it assembled; the first cabinet, however, was defective; it took several months to get a "replacement" (I should have just taken a refund if I'd known then what I know now), as the "replacement" cabinet did not last very long....one of the legs broke, and the cabinet collapsed on the floor. I don't believe the door can be changed to open on opposite sides.....this is NOT a high quality curio cabinet....so please think hard before purchasing it. I never got any money back and so was "out" close to $300.

The glass is semi clear, but the things you have in the cabinet are somewhat obscured. If you are familiar with what you have put in there though, you can find , or make out where it is in the cabinet. I hope that helps!

If you are talking about the gasket between the dust cup (ie container) and the lower opening on the backbone, I called Eureka about this and they sent me a free replacement gasket. However, the gasket they sent did not fit. So they ended up sending an entire replacement vacuum. I noticed that the new vacuum has a protective lip, so a gasket is not needed (or is not visible). Anyway, call them!

We have bought about 1 year, and so far no dust inside the cabinet. I would recommend this as a great product.

Hi, Yes, this curio cabinet closes securely. I have a 100 lb dog that traffics by my cabinet and even bumps it occasionally with his tail and no problem. Hope this helps.

I purchased two of them and neither were sealed either. I didn't think anything about it at the time. But I've been using it for weeks and haven't had any issues.

Yes I found it in good condition. I have a severe mold allergy so I throw out all cosmetics within a year or so. I am so OCD about it that I'm sure it was in a fine condition, as the first thing I do is check the date and when I open it I smell it and mold makes me sneeze. Some things in cosmetics I buy on sale and will not use immediately I store in the refrigerator. However they must be tightly sealed or can pick up molds from the foods in there.

When the "Swing Out Pantry" is opened all the way (as in the main picture for this item on Amazon), is there any kind of a gap between it and the cabinet door it sits next to?I am thinking of purchasing one of these, and the cabinet it is going to be installed in has "double doors" (one swings out left, one swings out right). Would the door on the left get in the way of the swing out pantry's installation/operation?

The drawers fit quite nicely, There is about 1/16 of a gab from the top rim otherwise the drawer will rub. it's About the thickness of a metal ruler. When the drawers are shut meaning fully closed they are flush to the surface. it's quite dusty where i am too and the inside is very protected the only dust i get is in the outside. I bought this unit back in July 20, 2013 & i am very pleased with the unit itself.

Hi....it is totally sealed. This is a heavy duty apparatus. It's well worth the $.

The 2 glass shelves are 1/8" thick. The space between each shelf is 10 5/8" and the shelves fit securely in the cabinet. I have a collection of clay figurines in my cabinet and there are 7 figurines on each shelf. I feel they are safe in this cabinet. If your urn is heavy, you might consider placing it on the bottom of the cabinet. I love this cabinet!

Depending on your situation, we have a 3 year old grandson running around and throwing balls and toys. I love him dearly and wouldn't want him to get hurt on broken glass should his homerun connect with our curio case. So we put it on the outside. If no children around and your getting up in age as we are and alittle less agile in cleaning your curios I'd put it on the inside. Once in place it's practically invisible. Good luck.

The seal is pretty good, but not air tight.There is a slight gap. I have had it almost a year. So I dusted when it arrived & once again I dusted it when I had it about 6 months. The dust is minimal, barely noticible, except my me.
