What kind of work are you displaying? How large, etc?

i use pedestals by Dynamic Display Systems - http://dynamicdisplaysystems.com/dynami ... ii_001.htm - including their jewelry case tops. while they are pricey, i will only be adding a pedestal or 2 in the future, not replacing them. i can set up the pedestals - 4 doubles and 2 singles - in 15-20 min - leveling time not included - and they break down almost as fast and store/travel very compactly, lightweight, now come with acrylic textured tops so humidity, like here in the se, doesn't affect them at outdoor shows, i have the fabric skirts - work wonderfully, fold up nicely, don't wrinkle have found wood shims work the best on grass with these cases, look wonderfully upscale

Hey, Dee's link to Dynamic Display's site shows Sara Creekmore's display. Very cool!

Hey, friends. I am going to be doing the show scene working up to the holiday season. I am very excited and am planning my booth. I have looked at the web site for Dynamic Display and they are beautiful, but are more than I want to invest for right now. Has anyone tried the tables that REI has that are the same concept? They fold out. The are called "aluminum roll top table". Go to REI.com. Search "table" and scroll down. They look like they might work for my booth. They are a bit low, but I would put risers for part of the table. What do you think?

Hi Ruth, I use the 6' plastic top folding tables that can be purchased at Lowe's, Home Depot, BJ's, Sam's Club, etc. They are about $50 and are very sturdy. They have different sizes and one that adjusts in height. I cover them with fitted table clothes for a very tailored look. They work well for me. Hope this is some help. Nanc

I use the Lifetime tables that you buy at Sams Club. To get them up to height I use bed elevators that I buy at Bed Bath & Beyond for $14.95 for a set of 4. They work great. The only problem is it takes two people to move your table once it is set up.

I hade a professional seamstress make table cloths to hide the elevators. Drapes would work, also. I'm off to a show at noon. Wish you lots of luck.

I use tables i got from Costco the 24 x48 add 8 inches with pipe and screws to make table high to 42". the pipe can be ajustable for uneven ground ,your out doors add risers for different hights ep

Thanks to everyone who has responded. I can take a bit from everyone's setup. Ernest, I went to your site and enjoyed being able to see the images of your shows. Great glass.
