OK, not really "stash" or "bench", but it sorta fits here?
A few weeks back, the wife and I walked into a local store that was going out of business. She was looking through clothing, of course, while I wandered over to the food/kitchen supplies area. Wandering around I noticed that all the cabinets & shelving had name tags & prices on them.... Kept looking around and found these babies:
Now there are 4 in that block, I grabbed 2 of them. THICK glass shelving, heavy-duty structure, storage underneath. (This will also serve to get my kits out of a small curio cabinet that I have been gradually taking over from the wife - she'll have free reign in the old spot once I get my stuff moved.) Started moving some reference materials into them already, before anybody else in the house gets any crazy ideas.
BUTT!!!! I haven't moved anything yet because the face is open, and I have helpers...
So, interested to hear what you all may suggest for doors? To be honest I'm kinda thinking about getting a sheet of acrylic from a local signage company I deal with, and kind of mount it "racecar hood-pin style", considering that it won't need to be open & closed very often. Thoughts?

Great looking cabinets! Good find! Opportunities as this one are rare. Wonder what "racecar hood-pin style" looks like?

I agree, you do not open a glass cabinet that often. So "race car style" would work. I have some glass cabinets and I open them either when I have finished a model or for the yearly dusting. And that is about it.

In the case of a car, allows you to eliminate the springs & other mechanics involved in raising & lowering the hood. If you need to access the engine, you remove the pins that are holding the hood in place, and lift it off.
