  Cabinets to each other, probably 3-4 stabilizers, 1 per corner of the windowed sections between the two cabinets.

    Why not stabilize the cabinets to the wall, like with child proofing wall anchors?

    What’s going in the middle? I think the easiest/best looking way to do this is to add some shelving at the bottom/middle and that could stabilize the two cabinets together. And if necessary add extra bracing in the back behind the cabinets.

      I went ahead and used large binder clips.

      I pushed the two cabinets together, removed the clear windows adjacent to each other, wrapped the wood in that thick and pliable clear plastic shelf liner, then used binder clips every 3-4” across the inside of the whole frame of the windows, marrying the two cabinets together with a plastic seal. Worked like a charm and much less intensive.

      Now, I did have to buy a jig saw and shave 1/4” off the inside edges of both top display doors. They wouldn’t shut otherwise.
