Review on 🐞 Insect Collection Display Case with Clear Glass Top for Science Education - Bug Collection Box by Kevin Abner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Plastic plate, no glass, the quality corresponds to the price

I bought it mainly for displaying ornamental insects, not scientific. Good quality foam, cleats too. The wood is light (probably balsa) and tinted black, so you need to prevent black smudges from getting onto the display. The box is not built like a typical entomological display case or cut to have a fitting lid, but cut through. The hinges are a bit flimsy, but I don't plan on opening it again. I might even seal it since the lid isn't installed (it's decorative, but I still don't want my patterns and display to get dirty or decompose). What really bothers me is that the description says the lid is a clear glass top. It's not glass, it's thick plastic, it's scratched and attached to the lid like a picture frame. You get what you pay for and I'll make it work. I'm just going to cut my piece of glass and attach it to it. I think this would work as a jewelry box rather than an entomological display. I'm sure it would be good for kids who are just learning about or trying out insects, but not for those who are serious. Next time I will set aside extra money for a professionally assembled case.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old
