Hi choopie, are you sure the REAL SHELF DEPTH is 21-22" and not the entire curio depth? Because this was the exact model I looked to get and actually called howard miller, they said the real shelf depth was only 15"
I ended up getting a macy's furniture curio for $1000 that listed a depth dimension of 25" but when i got it i found the actual shelf depth was only 17"still wont fit my optimus, that's how i found the pax.
Good point. I'll have to measure the glass shelves, but I'm pretty sure the shelves are deeper than 15". But I'm probably wrong, since you already called Howard Miller and asked. I needed something that was at least 17" deep and this suits my needs just fine, so I don't know for sure without measuring. Also, all of my PFs are on the bottom shelf where there is no glass, so it's a bit wider.
I bought it back in 2004 for my SSW LOTR statues/busts and it was fine. Then I had to re-think my display a bit when the PF's came about. The main thing that sold me on the curio was the cool designs in the wood, which as my wife pointed out were very "Middle Earthy". 
Actually that pic is from a couple years ago and most of that stuff is history. All I have in it right now is the Morgul Lord PF (which takes up the entire top half) and the SSW mini-Balrog and Morgul Lord/Fell Beast statues on the bottom. Once I catch up on the Maquettes, the ML PF is probably gonna get moved to the top of the curio.
