    I found a few of them online.

    If I were closer I’d build one for you.

    where did you find 'em .... I may end up having to try and build one with glass panels, silicone glue 'em together, set 'em up, use masking tape to hold together, and glue 'em ..... I dont have wood working tools .....

    I just saw that it doesn’t come with the glass. At that price that must be some very fine woodworking.

    It’s a shame you don’t have woodworking tools. It would be pretty simple to build a nice one.

    You could always check with a local cabinet shop and see what they would charge to build one.

    Oh, and if you end up using silicone to build one, which is possible, I’d recommend buying some large outside corner molding to cover the corners.

    Table saw, a router, and a mitre saw...a bit of lumber and a few panes of glass...more if you're building a base...

    During my 2 1/2 year break in service I spent some time working at both a cabinet shop and a glass shop.

    Maybe I should start building something like this as a hobby.

    Especially if you could sell them for $350 without the glass.
