The glass on these can be plain or fancy. Some of them can be etched with designs or clear. Many other will look like an old fashioned wardrobe with solid doors to hide the guns and not show them off at all.
Some of these gun cabinets may also have extra storage built into them. These can be doors on the bottom, or can include a set of drawers to hold other paraphernalia for your guns.
Some of these may be made of pressed wood and have a vinyl covering. While these are not as sturdy as the others, they can be assembled at home and still give you a nice looking cabinet.
