[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 229911, member: 136"]Kat, as others have said, if you have your heart set on glass, it is likely to be rather expensive. Was this insured by your movers? About 15 years ago, my English & Gordon setters were chasing each other through the house, and one of them [I]slid[/I] into the side of a Kittinger cabinet, breaking the curved glass. (The dogs were not hurt!) That cabinet was only about 40" tall, and at that time, I know the glass for just the one side cost over $250 to replace (it was done locally.) Again, that was some 15 years ago. Maybe if you ask at some local antiques places, someone might be able to refer you to a local repair person who could do the glass AND the other necessary repairs. That might be the best option. If you can't find anyone local to do it, there are places online. The only one I've heard of (tho I've never used them) is [B]Van Dyke's Restorers[/B]. Here's a link: [URL]http://www.vandykes.com/product.aspx?p=206497[/URL] Best of luck with it! [B][SIZE=4] [/SIZE][/B][/QUOTE]
