Florist Shop Display Stands & Counters: Custom Manufacturing
The counter does the selling, not the shelf
Flowers need a working height, not a display height. Build the main run as a counter at 850–900 mm with a recessed trough so buckets sit at a shallow angle and customers can see the whole stem, not just the heads. A shelf forces staff to lift buckets up and down all day; a counter lets them work in one motion and keeps the floor clear.
Tiered stands: the slat and the spacing are the whole product
The tiered stand behind the counter lives or dies on two numbers: shelf pitch and slat gap. Pitch of 250–300 mm gives wrapped bouquets room without hiding the row behind. A slat gap of 12–15 mm holds a standard bucket sleeve flush and still drains, and it lets you move sleeves when the seasonal mix changes. Get these right and the stand looks full at a third of the stock.
The wet zone: troughs, drainage and seals
Assume everything in a florist shop gets wet. Specify stainless or marine-grade trough liners, a continuous fall to a hidden drain, and sealed joints at the counter top — not silicone smeared over an open gap. Ask for a drip tray under the tiered stands as well. Water damage, not wear, is what ends the life of shop-fit joinery.
Lighting decides how fresh the flowers read
Use CRI 95+ LEDs at 4000–4500 K. Under-shelf linear light on every tier, plus a wash on the wet trough, makes petals and greens read true and keeps the shop photogenic. Fit the driver away from the wet zone, and put each run on its own switch so the window display can stay lit after close.
Order the run as a manufactured system
A flower display stand, counter and tiered wall built by one manufacturer means one drawing, one finish and one delivery date — not four suppliers arguing over tolerances. Sample one tier first: it is enough to check pitch, slat gap, sleeve fit and drainage. Then build the full run to the approved sample and crate it for shipment.
