    Very nice all the way around! How are the floating handles attached to the glass?

    Museum glass is tempered glass with coatings applied, much as is done on eyeglass lenses.

    This reduces UV transmission and cuts down on reflections.
    I think it also "shushes" onlookers that talk to loudly, but that costs extra.

    Very beautiful job. I love your solution for the doors. Do you mind if I steal it for a future project?

    I can honestly say I've never seen glass doors with a partial frame like that. Very cool! Does everything still feel solid when you open the doors?
