Sizes vary widely: small countertop stands can be as short as about 3 inches tall with desktop widths around 9–12.2 inches, while freestanding rotating towers and tall units can reach heights up to about 74.8 inches. Some rotating units advertise compact square footprints (for example 13.4" x 13.4").
Most stands and panels are made from clear acrylic. Taller or multi-tier units sometimes pair clear acrylic panels with particleboard frames, and a few models use birch plywood frames.
Clear, transparent acrylic panels and open designs increase visibility of displayed items while protecting them and reducing visual weight in a room.
