I want to buy a cabinet. I would prefer buying one from an American craftsman, and not a cheap one from China. I would appreciate some suggestions. Best.
Imo this is your guy....... He was out of business for a couple years. But is back after a "soft" retirement. Arlin has done everything from 1k dollar pieces to 50k and up. Also every style. Arts and crafts/ mission you name it. If I were doing something like you want. Personally I'd be calling Ron Staebell @ Aristocrat humidors.. (Money/design= total cost)
But if you want Design first then money imo Arlin is "it" @Arlin Liss.

another option.. depending on whether you are willing to put the time/energy into it yourself... is to "DIY"
I converted a china cabinet..
Cost me 1/5 what an Aristocrat or Avallo would.. seals great.. looks great.. etc.. and I had a lot of fun doing the conversion..
There are a few threads here showing step by step how others have converted china cabinets successfully.. and ended up with very nice looking, large scale, cabinets.. for just a few hundred bucks invested...
(I regret not taking pics each step of the way when I did my conversion.. but there is a thread from several months ago describing what I did.. Ill see if I can find it..)...
Im going to add in a thermoelectric unit this summer.. and make it climate controlled.. will probably post several pics of that process when I do it...
