Glazed Frame Corner
Welded steel, glass in channel
Two glass panels meet at a welded steel corner and are both carried in a channel. Nothing is clamped against the timber, so a broken panel is replaced without dismantling the cabinet.
Square glazed island · four faces · light timber base
A square island with tall glass on all four sides and a light timber cabinet base. Where the cross braced build divides its top into quarters, this one leaves the glazed volume open, so it takes taller stock.
Two studio angles on white. The frame corner, the glazed top from above, an open cabinet door and a corner elevation are below.
This is the second of the two square island cabinets in the range, and the difference between them is worth understanding before you order either. Both are four sided with a door on every face. This one carries taller glass panels and leaves the glazed volume undivided, which means it takes tall or bulky stock that the cross braced build would not clear.
The frame is black powder coated steel and the base timber is light, which is a deliberately quiet combination for a fixture that stands in the middle of a floor. Every face carries a cabinet door, so the whole footprint is closed storage under the display. Photographed from above, the glazed top reads as one clear opening rather than as a grid.

Steel, glass and timber meet at every corner of this cabinet. These four show how, including the glazed top seen from above.
Welded steel, glass in channel
Two glass panels meet at a welded steel corner and are both carried in a channel. Nothing is clamped against the timber, so a broken panel is replaced without dismantling the cabinet.
One clear opening
The opening is left clear rather than split into quarters, which is the whole difference between this build and the cross braced one. It is what lets the cabinet take tall stock.
Closed, all four faces
The base is closed storage the whole way round. On a mid-floor island that is a surprising amount of capacity for the footprint, and all of it is reachable without walking to an end.
Three materials, one corner
Steel, glass and board all meet at this corner. All three come off the same site in Changshu, which is why they turn up in one matched finish rather than needing a site fix.

Store fixtures are light for their size, so a container fills up on volume long before it fills up on weight. What decides your freight is not what one unit weighs — it is what shape the goods are in when they go through the container door. Everything we build leaves in one of three shapes, and a bulk island is the one that travels best.
Bulk islands travel as panels — carcase sides, shelves, bin rails, back panels and plinths, strapped flat with bubble wrap on every component. They are built up on the shop floor, so the packing list and the assembly drawings travel with the goods.
This model
Trolleys slide into one another and baskets stack. Past the first unit, each extra one adds only its nesting pitch instead of its full length, so the shipped volume ends up a fraction of what the unit count suggests.
A checkout lane is welded, coated and fitted out as one piece, so it is crated whole. That is the expensive end of the freight scale, and it is the reason a counter order and a bulk order load so differently.
Because this island ships as panels rather than assembled, the container arithmetic runs on panel count instead of on finished size — which is why two islands of the same footprint can load very differently depending on how many compartments each one carries. We do not publish a units-per-container figure for that reason. It is worked out against your actual order and comes back on the packing list together with the case dimensions, once the island size is confirmed.
A bulk island rarely arrives on its own. These three categories share the dry goods aisle with it, and putting them on one order is what lets a single colour reference run across the whole aisle, because it is then one batch of coating rather than three.
Loose grain and loose dry goods almost always share an aisle, and both want stainless wherever a scoop lands. Ordering them together keeps the two halves of the aisle in one timber.

If you are choosing between the two square cabinets, tell us the tallest thing going in it.
If you are deciding between this and the cross braced square cabinet, the deciding question is simple: how tall is the tallest thing going in the glazed volume?
The four that come up on nearly every enquiry for this build. If yours is not here, send it with your aisle drawing and it is answered alongside the quotation.
By the height of your stock. The cross braced build divides its top into four quarters and suits four separate lines kept apart; this one leaves the volume open and takes taller or bulkier product. If your stock is short and varied, take the braced one.
Yes, and stores with small boxed stock usually want it — an open volume that tall wastes air above a small product. Shelving inside the glass is a per store plan decision because it depends entirely on what goes in.
The frame is welded at every corner rather than bolted, which is where the rigidity comes from on this build. The braced version carries its brace because that top is divided into quarters, not because a square cabinet cannot stand without one.
They can, giving open shelf storage under the display. Most stores keep them: a mid-floor island with open storage on all four sides tends to become the place staff put things, and it stops looking tidy within a week.
