MODEC-1551 Reception Counter
Counters & Pedestals
Counters and Pedestals
There are nearly 200 choices in the Counters and Pedestals gallery at a range of prices and features. Nearly all come with locking storage. Most counters and pedestals are modular, meaning they disassemble for shipping, but there are quite a few custom counters which ship fully assembled. Don't see exactly what you want? No problem. We specialize in designing and building counters and pedestals that meet any need.
When choosing the right counter or pedestal for your display, consider how you will use it on the show floor. Do you need locking storage? Will the counter or pedestal hold a lead retrieval machine, laptop, or other electrical device? If so, you will need wire management. That may be as simple as ordering a grommet for the counter. If you are planning to use a tablet computer, consider the tablet insert option for the counter top. This option is practical, attractive, and secure for many tablets, such as an iPad.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Holy Moly! I just glanced through the Counters and Pedestals. There are almost 200 styles. How do I narrow it down?
Your first step is to identify what features you need. Do you need internal storage? How about graphics? Do you want laminate, aluminum, or fabric surfaces?Next, narrow it down by price, if for no other reason to see the differences between a $1200 pedestal and a $3500 counter.
In addition, all the counters and pedestals are organized:
- Portable Counters and Pedestals
- Hybrid/Modular Counters and Pedestals
- Custom Counters and Pedestals
- Folding Fabric Counters and Pedestals
Don’t see exactly what you want? No problem. As you can tell, we love to design new ones.
- Why aren't the shipping cases included in the price?
The simple fact is that most counters and pedestals ship with exhibits. As a result, they may fit in the same case, crate, or tub as the display, but, we never know until you select your display. If we included the case, then it wouldn't reflect realistic prices in most situations.We do list the ship case options, so you know whether it will fit in a portable case(s) or if it requires a crate.
Give us a call or send us an email if you have any questions. We want you to understand all your options.
- What laminates do you use?
In most cases, you can select any laminate from any domestic vendor. However, not all laminates are standard and an upcharge may apply for premimum finishes. We prefer Pionite, Wilsonart, and Nevamar. We do limited the laminate selections on Sacagawea and Perfect 10 Display Systems, which are more price sensitive.
We’ll be happy to check if your laminate selection is standard and available. Just give us a call or send an email.
- Do you automatically install grommets for wire and cord management?
No. We install them at your request and direction. We never know if you want grommet(s) or the preferred location.We strongly encourage you to make that decision before placing your order. Having a grommet or any wire management done at the show can be very expensive as opposed to having it done when it's built.
