Can a glass or acrylic top surface be added to a flat file cabinet?

Custom glass or acrylic tops can be fabricated and placed on the surface of a flat file cabinet to create a display case or lightbox-style surface over displayed drawings or maps. This is a popular custom modification in architecture firms, map libraries, and design studios where the flat file top doubles as a display surface. Tempered glass tops provide a smooth, hard-wearing surface; acrylic is lighter but scratches more easily. Some specialty flat file manufacturers offer purpose-built glass-top or lightbox-equipped models. Standard commercial flat file cabinets do not come with glass tops as a standard feature.
