Or plan to get one some day? It was a big thing with my parents, but I’ve never seen them in anyone else’s homes.

It is just one of those “Boomer” things nowadays?

    (Speaking as an early Millennial)

    I have a gigantic cabinet in my dining room/kitchen (not much wall between them so it’s kinda the same space). It’s 8 feet tall, solid hardwood except for the glass doors, and was originally a built-in from a house in the next neighborhood over. They put it out on the curb and I saw it, hitched up my utility trailer, brought it home and installed it. Best curb find so far.

    I use it as a pantry because my house small and doesn’t have a closet-style pantry.

    I also have a set of fine china that a friend gave me as a wedding present (even though we didn’t have a gift registry), but the pattern isn’t really our style and I’ve never taken it out of the box. I don’t have plans to buy other fancy dishes, either. I’m very happy with my cheap Corelle (except for the fact that they discontinued the pattern and I wish I had more sets of it).

    So, technically, I “have” both china and a china cabinet, but it is very much just a Boomer thing anyway.
