We have glass-topped drawers in our Native American basket gallery, 
manufactured to our specifications by Helmut Guenschel.  ( 
www.guenschel.com)  I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the 
drawer product, but a Guenschel rep can help with that.  These cases are 
not by any means inexpensive, but beautiful and rock-solid sturdy.  You 
do need a lot of lead time for installation if yours are made to order.  
We've had visitors opening and shutting about a dozen drawers, over and 
over, for a year now and have had no problems at all.
