You can make your own with PVC or purchase them as I did. They are made to fit any table leg size and very adjustable and stable.<br /><br />Lighting is critical...and always be prepared if you are showing your own jewelry to have tools available to lengthen/shorten, embellish your fine work. A show kit is absolutely imperative with everything but the kitchen sink....especially plenty of bags, pens, business cards, website details.....anything and everything to show professionalism and that you are serious about being in this for the long term.<br /><br />Your opportunity to stamp who you are will show with posters of your company name, or professional banners. I have posters of my best pieces that hang from draped booths to catch the eye of someone that happens to be in another booth, 50 feet away. Height, big, professional look. It pays for itself three fold.<br /><br />I also, have different looks for outdoor. Professional displays make a difference too, but keep it simple. You need to look like the top notch jewelry store where you shop.Pat Hollenbeckhttp://phollenbeck.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.com
