JANTAR display cabinet with lighting, left, 62 cm, on metal legs

JANTAR display cabinet 62 cm: a vertical line on a narrow wall

A slim floor standing cabinet for rooms where almost no wall is left. Sixty two centimetres slot in between a window and a corner, between a doorway and a wardrobe, or into the stretch of wall beside the sofa. The upper part is a tinted glass door with lit shelves behind it, the lower part a solid oak front. This is the left hand version: the door swings to the left.

What it is made of

• tall tinted glass door
• two glass shelves behind the glass
• LED lighting for the display section, included in the price
• closed lower compartment with a solid oak front
• a recessed black line across the front instead of handles
• splayed black metal legs

Who it suits

Anyone with a long narrow living room and no wall to spare. A dining area where the cabinet stands next to the table and the glassware is meant to be seen rather than shut away in the kitchen. It also works as a pair with the mirrored right hand version, one on each side of a television or a window. That is a familiar trick in Israeli flats: two narrow verticals instead of one wide unit.

Size and what fits

Dimensions: 62 cm long, 45 cm deep, 203 cm tall. The two glass shelves take a set of glasses, a dinner service for six or a collection worth showing. The closed section below is for everything that need not be on display: table linen, spare crockery, boxes. The height asks for a ceiling of 240 cm or more.

How it sits in the room

The door here is almost the full width of the carcass, so about 60 cm of clear swing is needed in front to open it fully. Room is needed on the left as well, since this is the left hand version. If you set two units either side of a television, work out the gap from the screen diagonal plus an allowance for cables.

Materials and finish

Solid oak and board under natural oak veneer, with a single finish across the collection: rustic oak, a warm brown with open pores. Lacquered surfaces. Manufacturer MEBIN, Poland. Twelve month warranty.
