Selling products, showcasing awards, rounding out an interior design—display cases give you the perfect space to attract attention to what matters. It’s important to remember, though, that different display case designs are best suited for different applications.

Display Case Buying Guide
The basic design of a display case is simple—a clear case with shelves inside. But there are many variations made to address factors like product/object types, space constraints and other functional and aesthetic concerns. A case that’s perfect for showing off a single large item is going to be quite a bit different than one made to showcase many smaller items, for example.
Let’s look at some of the key factors to consider when buying a display case:
Visibility/Vision
Display cases & cabinets come in a variety of configurations to allow full or partial visibility of what’s inside. Some of the most popular options include:
- Full-vision
- Three-quarter vision
- Half-vision
- Quarter-vision
Sometimes you only want part of the interior to be visible. For example, if you used a display case to house both products for sale and computer equipment for your sales register, you might want to obscure the portion that contained unsightly cables, power strips, etc.
Design
There are multiple display case designs available, including:
- Retail display counters – Usually larger, free-standing store display cases that can hold large amounts of merchandise. Appropriate for checkout areas and for holding valuable items.
- Merchandise/trophy display cabinets. Feature multi-tier shelving, often adjustable, for displaying merchandise, trophies, collectibles and other items.
- Pedestal cases. Display cases on pedestal bases that showcase important items, often used for more valuable items and showpieces. Elevates items which makes them easier to see.
- Small displays. Smaller display cases can be placed on counters or larger display cases. Often used to display smaller merchandise and placed near checkouts.
Lighting
The clear sides and tops of display cases are designed to let viewers see the objects inside as clearly as possible. But in many situations having clear enclosures is still not enough to show items as clearly or as attractively as possible. That’s why premium display cases feature integrated interior lighting. For those that don’t, it’s a good idea to consider adding lighting.
Popular lighting options include overhead spotlights, uplighting/bottom-lighting and base and side lighting.
Display Case Materials
There are two materials to definitely consider when choosing a display case:
- Acrylic. Often referred to as plexiglass, acrylic is affordable and offers better impact resistance than glass. Acrylic also weighs less than glass, which makes it easier to move the case. Recycled acrylic is an option for those who want this material but want to reduce their environmental impact.
- Glass. Plate glass is more economical than tempered glass, but the latter is more impact-resistant. A glass display case can be made frameless by gluing the glass panels together, creating a seamless look. A glass display cabinet is more scratch-resistant and can provide better UV protection than most acrylics.
Base Materials
Base materials can include:
- Wood
- Metal
- Plastic
- Glass
The base material can make the case appear more luxurious or more practical, making it another important choice in selecting a case.

A U-shaped desk is a versatile piece of furniture with a worksurface on three sides: front, one side, and back, providing ample room for multitasking and organization. An L-shaped desk features two sides: front and one side, offering a spacious layout. Both configurations are excellent choices for maximizing workspace, enhancing productivity, and optimizing office layouts compared to a standard rectangular office desk.
L-shaped desks provide significantly more workspace compared to a standard rectangular office desk. In a modern office setting where multiple monitors and peripherals are commonly used, an L-shaped desk is an excellent choice for offering additional space, enhanced organization, and improved productivity.
A height-adjustable desk is a fantastic addition to any ergonomic office setup! It's well known that prolonged sitting is detrimental to your health, contributing to issues like back pain and reduced circulation. With a sit-to-stand desk, you can effortlessly alternate between sitting and standing, promoting better posture and increased energy levels. Many desks feature convenient memory settings, allowing you to switch to your preferred height with ease, making transitions seamless. This flexibility not only enhances comfort but also boosts productivity, supporting a healthier, more dynamic work environment.
When selecting a desk, dimensions are crucial as they determine how well the desk fits in your workspace and accommodates your needs. Ideal desk dimensions can vary based on the user’s height, the available space, and the intended use of the desk. A standard desk height is about 29 to 30 inches, which suits most users. However, adjustable desks, such as the Sophisticate Electric Lift L-Shaped Bow Front Desk, offer flexibility for sitting or standing positions. With a range of sizes and configurations available, you can find the perfect fit for your office needs. Whether you need a compact desk or a spacious workstation, options abound to suit different spaces and preferences.
The material of a desk impacts its durability, appearance, and maintenance requirements. Popular materials include wood, metal, and laminate. Wooden desks provide a classic look and are often durable but can be heavy and require maintenance. Metal desks, like the Xdustrial Series Manager's Black Metal Frame Desk, offer a modern aesthetic and robust construction, ideal for high-traffic areas. Laminate desks are affordable, easy to clean, and resistant to scratches, making them a practical choice for many. The variety of materials available ensures that you can find a desk that meets both functional and aesthetic needs.
Desk color choices can influence the mood and style of a workspace. Neutral colors like white, black, or wood tones are versatile and can easily blend with various decor styles. The White U-Shaped Workstation w/Hutch offers a clean, modern look that can brighten up a space. Meanwhile, the Charcoal 2-Person Shared Workstation w/Hutches provides a sleek and contemporary feel. With a wide range of colors available, you can choose a desk that complements your office design and personal taste.
Desk shape is an important consideration as it affects both functionality and the flow of your workspace. Rectangular desks are versatile and fit most spaces, while L-shaped desks provide additional surface area and are great for corner setups. U-shaped desks, like the Cherry Laminate U-Shaped Workstation by Gibraltar, offer ample workspace and are ideal for multitasking. The variety of shapes available allows you to choose a desk that maximizes your workspace efficiency and suits your work style.
Desk configuration, such as L-shaped or U-shaped, can significantly impact workflow efficiency and space utilization. An L-shaped desk offers two work surfaces, ideal for multitasking or corner spaces. A U-shaped desk provides an expansive area for those needing more room, like the TrendSpaces U-Shaped Workstation w/Hutch. Configurations can also include additional features like hutches or built-in storage. A variety of configurations ensures you can find a desk that optimally supports your work habits and space requirements.
The number of workstations needed depends on the intended use and available space. Single workstations are suitable for individual use, while shared desks, like the Cherry Laminate 2-Person Peninsula Workstation w/Hutches, facilitate collaboration and save space. Multi-person workstations are ideal for open office settings and enhance teamwork. With options for one or multiple users, you can choose a desk setup that aligns with your office dynamics and space constraints.
Additional features like electric lifts, built-in storage, or hutches enhance desk functionality and convenience. Electric lift desks, such as the Sophisticate Electric Lift L-Shaped Bow Front Desk, allow for ergonomic adjustments, promoting health and productivity. Hutches provide extra storage without occupying floor space, as seen in the White U-Shaped Workstation w/Hutch. With numerous additional features available, you can customize your desk to better meet your organizational and ergonomic needs.
