Cabinet Choices

[Mr. McSquirelly]

I want to buy a cabinet. I would prefer buying one from an American craftsman, and not a cheap one from China. I would appreciate some suggestions. Best.

Imo this is your guy....... He was out of business for a couple years. But is back after a "soft" retirement. Arlin has done everything from 1k dollar pieces to 50k and up. Also every style. Arts and crafts/ mission you name it. If I were doing something like you want. Personally I'd be calling Ron Staebell @ Aristocrat humidors.. (Money/design= total cost)
But if you want Design first then money imo Arlin is "it" @Arlin Liss.

Avallo, hands down.
May be a bit more, but you are paying for quality, a fool proof Accumonitor system, and great customer service.

Thanks, guys. Very, very, very helpful. Now comes the hard part! Lol!

another option.. depending on whether you are willing to put the time/energy into it yourself... is to "DIY"

I converted a china cabinet..

Cost me 1/5 what an Aristocrat or Avallo would.. seals great.. looks great.. etc.. and I had a lot of fun doing the conversion..

There are a few threads here showing step by step how others have converted china cabinets successfully.. and ended up with very nice looking, large scale, cabinets.. for just a few hundred bucks invested...

(I regret not taking pics each step of the way when I did my conversion.. but there is a thread from several months ago describing what I did.. Ill see if I can find it..)...

Im going to add in a thermoelectric unit this summer.. and make it climate controlled.. will probably post several pics of that process when I do it...
