There are three types of freestanding showcases: counter, mid-floor, and wall. Counter showcases are designed to display objects through one side (the “customer side”) and have them accessible through the other (the “clerk side”). For this reason, the counter displays are most relevant for retail stores.
The middle floor cases are built to display objects from all sides, and are meant to be placed in the middle of the room.
Wall showcases are meant to be placed against a wall, where the products are displayed and accessed from the same side.
These last two types are used by stores, museums, schools, and especially in homes to showcase valuable items or collections.
