Choosing the right option

Choose by whether staff need a selling surface, hidden stock space or a fully visible cabinet face.

Look at footprint, sightlines and door swing before you book. A strong cabinet can still fail if it blocks staff movement or dominates a compact stand. Measure doors, lifts and back-of-house access before delivery day, especially for the taller units.

  • Use counters where staff sell or speak from the unit
  • Use tall or wide cabinets where the product is the visual focus
  • Keep reserve stock close to the selling point
  • Leave room for doors to open without blocking the public route
  • Think about lighting around the cabinet
  • Do not crowd the stand with too many tall pieces
