<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am a curator of biology at a small-ish museum in California, and I am running into an issue as I try to figure out where to buy new metal drawers for my zoological specimen cabinets. Most of our drawers are made of wood, and we have a
very large bird egg collection that we need to move into metal drawers to better conserve them. This is going to involve replacing a lot of drawers, but right now we can only afford to replace some of them. I know of three major museum cabinet manufacturers:
Lane Scientific, Delta Designs, and Steel Fixture. We have mostly Lane cabinets that are probably between 50-70 years old, and a handful of Steel Fixture cabinets that I think we purchased in the late 90$B!G(Bs or early 2000$B!G(Bs. I am now faced with the conundrum
of purchasing new drawers for both cabinets. The drawers we currently have do fit in both cabinets, so they do seem to be a standard size.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Based on quotes I have received, Steel Fixture drawers are the least expensive, but I wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone had some recommendations on who they think is best.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for any input! <o:p></o:p></p>
