Typically made of wood or glass, these cabinets often feature shelves and doors, allowing for both visibility and protection of the items inside. They are commonly found in dining rooms and living areas, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. These cabinets can vary in style, from traditional to modern, and may include intricate designs or simple lines. Many china cabinets are also referred to as display cabinets or hutch, depending on their specific design and use.
