Washington Expands Troop Facilities (1 Viewer)

[Capitolron]

Yesterday in Washington, DC - an important meeting was held with the "Speaker of the House" - which the subject of future furniture purchases & placements for 2009 were reviewed.

This meeting was called by the very crafty Secretary of Defense - sensing a afterglow of a wonderful Christmas. Upon this meeting (and very excellent lobbying ) it was decided and approved by the Speaker of the House - that Military facilities may be INCREASED !

Very soon we have a new addition coming into the Capitol Hill Townhouse - see picture below This is all very good news to King & Country - I assure you.

Looks like 2009 will be a Great Year !!

How many cabinets is that now???

Does anyone know of a curio cabinet less expensive then the "Howard Miller Townsend Village Display Curio Cabinet" but has the same dimensions or does anyone know where I can get this one for the cheapest price? This is the only curio that I have found that has a depth close to 2 feet (i.e. 20.5 inches to be exact). I don't have any curio as of yet but would like one that is large enough for some dioramas. The link below provides a picture and description of the one I'm referring to above. Thanks!

Not sure if you are looking for a fancy piece of furniture or not but you could try Ikea.

I found this one....http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20150084

Shelves are not as deep, only 15 3/4 inches but the cabinet is wider by a foot.

Most curio cabinets are somewhat shallow. You might try looking for some used commercial display cabinets. 2 ft deep display cabinets are not uncommon.

Thanks for the info. I definitely would like a cabinet at least 20 inches deep for some dioramas that I have planned. I'll keep looking around to see what I find but, price is a consideration.

Ron,
Too Funny! I was convinced you were informing us about some underhanded secret governmental meeting in which they were spending my money without giving me a say. Is it a Howard Miller like Historyfortheages posted? That is a beauty! Good luck with the GSA sign-off on that aquisition.

I bought one of these a year ago. It is not much over a foot deep, but it is very wide (about 46 inches). What I also like about it is that there is there is lots of clear viewing area in the front because of the frame. I would kind of like to get a deeper one next time, just as you, because it does allow more depth in the dioramas. Macy's sells it in the store, and that is where I bought mine when it was on sale.

I like the new one you got too, Ron. It should go well with those Napoleonics.
