The middle shelves more than the top and bottom at least...

Status: offline 		That was a great idea to use those boxes in that manner . The mirrors do make it a bit difficult to take pics at times . I am guessing that is what the bottom of the display boxes were made of . Makes a nice compact looking display .

Status: offline 		I think those look great and that's a terrific idea for displaying! I've been trying to figure out an easy, cost effective strategy for displaying and yours appears to be one. I can imagine how good they look in person - flash photos against mirrors are always a problem.

Thanks for posting!

Status: offline 		Hey Rat, nice use of the car cases, your bottles look very good, but as e-package says they kind of get lost in the mirrors, have you tried just plain white paper or painted hardboard for a backdrop, it would make em pop........

the mirror back on the cases just have that effect when taking photo's. if you seen them in person on the wall the mirror really enhances the bottles. at night when there is a small light on in the room the bottles because of the mirror backing in the cases give off a very cool eerie glow.
