Are glass-door storage cabinets appropriate for an office setting?

Glass-door storage cabinets (with tempered glass panels replacing solid cabinet doors) provide a more open, display-quality aesthetic — contents are visible without opening the door. They are popular in executive offices, libraries, and design studios where the appearance of organized books, binders, or display items is a feature rather than a liability. The trade-off: no visual privacy for cabinet contents (everything must always be organized); glass doors require more care to avoid breakage; and tempered glass does not provide sound insulation. For most office storage of supplies and documents, solid-door cabinets are more practical. OfficeFurniture2go.com carries storage options with glass door configurations — call 1-800-460-0858.
