I would like some opinions if you would. I would like to get a curio cabinet,but before I do I started to think which kind would show off my things the best. I have a lot of swarovski crystal and statues (Boyds Bears). I'm not so sure they would show up in one that is all wood, no glass or mirror in the back. Maybe one with glass shelves and a glass or mirror back? I don't know. Does anyone know which kind would work best for these kinds of things? Any input would be wonderful. Thanks!

Maybe one with glass shleves, a mirrored back, and a light built in. That way the light and the morror will add extra sparkle to your collectibles.
I have on as described above. The mirror broke during our last move, and my things don't stand out as much. When it's plugged in and full, it looks so pretty to me. :-) Happy looking!

I have my Fitz & Floyd in a large curio; it has glass shelves and mirrored back with lighting. It's a pain to clean, but I really only do it about twice a year as it keeps pretty clean with the doors shut. My cleaning lady taught me how to clean the glass & mirrors etc. She sprays a paper towel with Windex, cleans surface and then dries it with one of those foamy, thick, almost rubbery wiping cloths...that's what takes every bit of lint off. I also wash all the curios in warm water and detergent and dry immediately - when I clean it out...lots of work - but it looks gorgeous and you can admire your collections anytime you like.
