Abstract

A hutch (10) of a preferred form is shown including a top (14) and bottom (16) initially held in a spaced relation by their sandwiching between collars (35) and nuts (36, 37) fixed on and threaded on, respectively, the ends of vertical rods (32) extending through apertures (34) formed in the top (14) and bottom (16). The upper and lower edges of first and second glass ends (18) and first and second, glass, front sides (22) are slideably captured in groves (28, 30) formed in the top (14) and the bottom (16). Bolts (38) threaded in the top (14) abut with the upper edges of the ends (18) and sides (22) to compressively capture the ends (18) and sides (22) between the grooves (28, 30) and to tension the vertical rods (32). A back (20) including a mirrored face (26) is secured to the top (14) and bottom ( 16) to provide diagonal support of the frame. Glass shelves (40) are supported by independent shelf supports (42) adjustably and slideably positioned on the vertical tension rods (32). The tension rods (32) and shelf supports (42) include a highly reflective chrome plating to create the visual effect of the top (14) floating in a spaced, parallel relation above the bottom (16).
