Howdy guys! this is my first post
I am looking for a display case similar to the picture attached. I've been looking everywhere and cannot find anything comparable. I guess the main issue I am having is size— I need it to be really long (longer than 6 feet). I am not looking for anything modern, I found websites that can create those custom any size but thats just not the style I am looking for. Any ideas of where I can find one?
Best!
That almost looks like a commercial piece (retail display case). Likely you might have to have one custom made. There is a structural issue with long runs on a piece such as that and if I were building that we would want a vertical center support at the midpoint of that case. To take something like that out to 72" or longer will result in a bowed & sagging piece without center supports. Good luck in your search.

Thanks for your reply! I am totally open to going custom route. Is this something you do?
Best!
Yes, you can take a look at the work here on the forum by John Buchanan, he's whom would make it if you contracted with my store. He's a master cabinentmaker and it would be done right. Not cheaply, but right! I assume there is tempered glass in the side panels all the way around. Probably looking at $ 3K or so as a ballpark number in your choice of woods.

Note, Buchanan would be somebody you would normally approach for an all-wood piece, whereas the image you posted is of a table that is made primarily of metal.
That sounds pretty good. Do you have a website? I tried searching for John Buchanan on the forums but not much luck for images.
If the display case was made to about 100", do you have any idea how it would be shipped and what the costs for that would be? I am located in New York City.
I do not really know what tempered glass is on the side panels or what that means
How would the design process work? would I sign off on a 3D rendering before it gets built, and how long would it take to build?
Thanks again!
Ah! I missed that...if this piece is metal than I don't have a custom source to make it, sorry. If you are in the NYC area, I'm sure you can locate someone who can build that for you in the area. Google is your friend.

No worries@ and thanks for all your feedback! do you by chance happen to know anyone who is able to work with metal/glass?
I called a few places today but they are all charging me obscene amounts.... 20-30k..........
