We've heard of wine collectors, but didn't quite realize that there were wine cabinet collectors, as well. EuroCave's 30th Anniversary Collector's Wine Cabinet is a limited edition piece from one of the top names in the wine storage industry that is loaded with top of the line features. It has a customizable hygrometry system for maintaining optimum humidity levels and a digital monitoring system that will minimize possible disturbances to the wine. The "cellular quality barrier" walls protect from outside heat and cold and the double-paned glass door is UV treated. The cabinet has a grape-leaf pattern on the door, 14 sliding beechwood shelves and can hold up to 195 bottles of wine. Price: $4,000.

While I wouldn't mind finding a secret entrance to another place at the back of my wardrobe, the scenario seems fairly unlikely. The closest that I can probably hope to come by purchasing furniture that was designed with a much less magical secret, like the Secret Cabinet being sold by Anthropologie. The grey cabinet is made of poplar and appears to be a five-door dresser from the outside, but once the hinged door is opened, a sunny yellow interior with adjustable shelves is revealed. It measures 76"H x 43.5"W x 20.5"D. Price: $1,998.

A wardrobe is just a place to keep your clothes, but by calling the cabinet a "vertical storage space," it suddenly sounds much more purposeful and versatile, which is probably why that descriptor is applied to Karim Rashid's Blend. Made of lacquered wood, the piece has a tremendous visual appeal to it and is certainly unique - no matter what you decide to call it. It is available in one and two-door versions Price: $2,600.

Designer Helen Waites has come up with this brilliant Fake Riches Cabinet, which not only allows your dishes to stand in as artwork when not in use, but also adds some grandeur to what would otherwise be plain white plates. The cabinet has two layers, a back rack and an overlying glass face, which is decorated with pale blue patterns of the type often seen on antique plates. The white plates cause the designs to pop out, giving the impression that you actually have antique china in the display. We disagree with the possibility of gaining a "sense of worth" from such a cabinet, but that doesn't mean we like it any less.
