I lucked into the purchase of two large displays just before Christmas. They were on nice wooden bases, and were originally the glass displays used in a high-end clothing store to show off sweaters or shirts. I got a super deal on them, and used them for the first time at the Florence ArtsFest this past weekend.
The glass pieces are 10″ x 16″, and are designed to fit on the wooden bases horizontally. This is not how I wanted to configure them for my jewelry, and I wound up using less than half of one display. I bought four 4′ x 2′ tables from Sam’s Club, with legs that will adjust to children’s height, table height, or counter height. They are the indesctructible light weight plastic.
I set the tables up two on each side at counter height, and had an extra table at the back. I put the glass clipped together vertically on the side tables, and used some old displays on the back table. I think for the next show I will get another of the counter height tables to use in the back.
A friend loaned me a small round table to put my turntable earring display on. I need to find a counter-height way to show this – the small table was really too low.
I would also love to get some framing that I could put better lights on down the road.
Overall, I was pleased with the way the booth turned out, and thought it looked much more professional than the display I had before.
You can see that the small round table is too low, but the glass displays look good, I think. My lights work, but could definitely be better.
You can see the edge of the low back table in the left of the picture; that table needs to be the same height as the others I think.
