I am looking for modular display cases and wondering if anybody has any good or bad experiences with them.  Also, are there any manufacturers that are recommended?  I have been looking at Zone (http://zonedisplaycases.com/products/modular-cases/), Goppion (http://www.goppion.com/solutions/system-q/characteristics/modularity/), and Mayvaert (http://www.meyvaertmuseum.be/en).  Any advice, recommendations, thoughts, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott, Gaylord Archival has a new display case system which is modular and ships flat with hardware which creates the joins easily. It  is called the Frank Showcase System, from Germany and they are the only distributors in the US.  Go to GAYLORD.COM/FRANK to check it out.   Use glazing of your choice and size for your needs. 

Best,

Susan

Thank you Susan.  I have looked into the Frank cases from Gaylord but some of their limitations do not make them a viable option for us at this time.  If anybody else has suggestions or experience with modular cases, I would love to hear.
