Option 1. But would replace lower cabinets with drawers.

Option 1 with better hardware.

Option 1.

Option one with glass door on upper top and drawers on bottom.

I think we're going to move forward with option 1. All though I initially did the upper boxes in glass, the client did not want them anywhere (unwanted maintenance) - as for the base cabinet, they will have pull-out drawers.

Thanks for the opinions!

We put light inside and displayed dishes. Not sure it needs any more maitanance, but to each it own:)

For me, I figured right from the start that this space needed the glass at the top - but like you said, to each their own! Thanks for sharing, your cabinets look great!
