Our Floor Model Displays
our hand crafted with the same high quailty craftsmanship as any of our other models. As with any Dorris Display Cabinet,
you get the Danish oil finish which is wet sanded between each of the 3 hand rubbed coats (one coat per day). This process
is more time consuming than a spray on "production" type finish, but we prefer to stay with the old fashioned, hand rubbed
procedure because it produces a glass smooth surface with all the magnificence you would expect to find on a high quality,
hand crafted piece.
The Floor Model Design is a free standing piece of furniture for those of you wanting
a larger display, or a look different from the wall hanging cabinets.
The floor model consists of three parts:
- The upper cabinet (display area)
- The lower cabinet (storage area)
- The base
Each piece is attached (with threaded inserts) to the one below it for stability
and safety reasons. The top cabinet could also be drilled (on the inside walls or the under side of the top) to allow you
to fasten to the wall with screws if so desired (just specify when ordering) to prevent tipping. These pieces will come
apart and ship in separate boxes to help keep shipping costs down. Typically, the lower cabinet has 3 shelves (plus the inside
bottom) behind the solid panel providing storage for sheaths, knife boxes, etc. that you would otherwise store in a drawer
or closet.
The standard Floor Model designs are as follows:
- Single Door Model
- Double Door model
- A mid section with drawers also available
Keyed locks available for those of you wishing to prevent others from touching your collection.
When ordering keyed eyed locks, both the upper and lower cabinets will be keyed the same for your convenience.
- keyed locks: $24.00 ea. installed, and come complete with 2 keys. These locks would be keyed
the same to allow you to carry just one key for opening both the top and bottom doors.
Each style can be customized to suit your collection, or your specific needs.
A). Single Door Floor Model Display Cabinet
This piece stands approx.
5' 4 3/4" tall x 16" wide. The Upper cabinet measures 30" tall x 16" wide x 4" deep (outside). The lower cabinet measures
30" tall x 16" wide x 6" deep. The base measures 20" wide x 9" deep x 4 3/4" tall.
The upper cabinet holds 10 knives, shown with the optional
fluorescent light installed on the inside top to shine down onto your collection creating a great look reflecting off
the knives. The lower cabinet has 4 shelves (3 in addition to the bottom) providing ample storage for your knife boxes and
sheaths. The center door panel on the lower cabinet is constructed from solid wood (separate pieces glued up to form the solid
panel).
The base has a scalloped design cut on the front and arches cut on each side. These base
edge is also routed with the same profile to match the design on the inside edge of the door rails (against the glass
and the wood panel). By using the same edge profile on each section, continuity is created and carried throughout the entire
piece for a very pleasing look to th eye overall.
The light comes with a 6' cord reaching along the back to the bottom
of the cabinet. Clips have been installed on the back of the cabinet allowing you to hold the cord in place once set it up
in your home or office. This will hide the cord and prevent it from "wandering" out from behind the cabinet and becoming
visible against the wall. The cord, being 6' long, does allow the plug to reach the bottom, but in most cases will
not take it to a wall outlet (unless you place the cabinet directly in front of one). This has been compensated for in the
well -hought-out design...the 4 3/4" base has no back on it, allowing you to place the extension cord, you will most
likely need, in the empty space under the base to hide it from beeing seen as well (pulling out just the amount of cord
needed to reach the outlet).
This cabinet is too large to ship assembled with "reasonable" prices,
so it is designed to ship in 3 separate boxes (or in 3 pcs. all packed inside the same box-depending on your location. We
will ship in which ever manner is least expensive to keep your costs down.).
The individual pieces (separate cabinets) assemble using threaded inserts
that are installed when constructing your display. The threaded inserts allow you to
use the screws and finishing washers provided for quick and easy assembly. In addition to the ease of assembly, the threaded
inserts add strength, and ensure that the holes will not become stripped if you take the unit apart and re-assemble to
move it several times.
This cabinet prices at: $919.67 in the 'standard' configuration
As shown: $1030.17
