Discover Spacesaver Entomology Storage

Manufactured in the USA of solid, heavy-gauge steel with reinforced welded construction, our museum cabinets feature closed-cell gasket seals, with a three-point latching system to keep out dust and other pollutants. A non-off-gassing powder coat paint finish enhances durability and delivers a pristine look. The doors lift off their hinges, offering an easy means to clean the cabinets and rearrange drawers as collections expand.
