A wooden retail display changes how customers read a product. Fresh produce looks fresher, bread looks more artisan and wine looks more considered when it sits in timber or wicker rather than on a plain metal shelf. Maxshelf supplies a complete range of wooden shop displays, from single display crates and countertop tray stands to tall A-frame racks, wicker basket towers and barrel-shaped wine units, so you can build a rustic, farm-shop style area in any store.

Wooden Display Crates and Crate Stands
Wooden display crates are the most flexible part of the range. They sit on a shelf, on a counter or on the floor, and they stack to build height without adding footprint. Our crates come in four sizes — 400 x 300 x 105mm, 400 x 300 x 180mm, 600 x 400 x 105mm and 600 x 400 x 180mm — in both a black finish and a warm oak finish, plus 500 x 300 x 155mm and 500 x 400 x 240mm natural timber crates for farm shops and bakeries.
For seasonal and fresh-produce areas, the folding wooden display crates (600 x 400 x 200mm) carry printed fruit or vegetable illustrations and are available in pine or walnut colour. They fold flat when not in use and stack for a fuller display.
Where you want the work done for you, our wooden crate stands arrive as complete units: a 3 tier crate stand at 1545mm high, a 4 tier angled crate stand at 2160mm high, and a 5 tier crate tower on castors at 1715mm high. For snacks, the stackable wooden crisp crate with clear cover and the 3 tier crisp crate stand on castors keep loose products covered while still open to self-service. More snack merchandisers are in our crisp and snack display range.
Wooden A-Frame and Tiered Display Stands
An A-frame display stand angles each tier towards the customer, so every product is visible from the aisle. We stock a 3 tier wooden A-frame rack (1336mm high) with deep bins on a fixed base for heavier stock, and a 4 tier wooden A-frame rack on castors (1341mm high) with sloped shelves that can be moved for promotions or end-of-aisle positions.
For a statement piece, the 4 tier wooden A-frame stand with lanterns stands just over 2m high with an illuminated header, and the 4 tier metal and maple wood stand pairs a black frame with vine and leaf detailing and four removable maple-finish trays — well suited to gift shops, home décor stores and premium food halls.
Wicker Baskets and Basket Display Stands
Wicker gives the same natural look as timber with a softer, woven texture, which makes it a favourite for bakeries, fruit and vegetable sections and organic shops. The range covers single wicker display baskets in round, square and sloped shapes, a 600 x 400 x 120mm wicker basket tray, and tall dark-finish wicker baskets in 750mm, 950mm and 1150mm heights.
For floor displays, choose a 4 tier round wicker basket display, a 4-basket wicker stand set at 1470mm high, or the round wicker basket display stand on a graphite metal X-frame in two heights. The 20 litre round polywicker basket has rope handles and pairs with a matching walnut-finish wooden stand, giving the wicker look with an easy-clean synthetic weave. For loose produce shelving, see our fruit and veg displays and bread and bakery displays.
Wine Barrel Displays
A wine barrel display turns a few bottles into a feature. The warm oak wine barrel display has divided bottle compartments, the 3 tier half barrel unit (962mm high) sits flat against a wall or the end of a run, and the 3 tier full barrel unit (1070mm high) combines round wooden shelves with decorative grape-leaf metalwork for a free-standing focal point. They suit off-licences, wine shops, supermarkets and gift stores. For higher-capacity bottle storage, browse our wine towers.
Countertop Wooden Displays
Till points and counters are where impulse sales happen, so we stock compact wooden POS displays designed for them. The 2 tier and 3 tier countertop wooden tray stands hold four and six deep wooden bins on a black metal frame, and the 3 tier angled crate counter stands are available in solid wood or woven wicker. All are sized to fit a standard shop counter without blocking the customer’s view of staff.
Spinning and Mobile Display Units
When floor space is tight, a rotating unit shows four faces in one footprint. The range includes a spinning rustic wooden-effect display on castors, spinning slatpanel towers in black or white, and two Red London Telephone Box spinning displays — one slatwall, one pegboard with magnetic sides — popular with gift shops, tourist stores and post offices. Mobile double-sided and quad-sided slatwall units complete the range and accept standard slatwall hooks and accessories.

Wooden Retail Display FAQs
Can wooden display crates be stacked?
Yes. The folding fruit and veg-print crates and the stackable crisp crates are designed to stack, and our crate stands come as ready-built multi-tier units if you would rather not stack loose crates.
Which wooden display works best on a shop counter?
The 2 tier countertop wooden tray stand is the most compact option at 350mm high. For more capacity, the 3 tier tray stand and the 3 tier angled crate counter stands give extra tiers on a similar footprint.
Are any of the floor displays mobile?
Yes. The 5 tier crate tower, the 3 tier crisp crate stand, the 4 tier A-frame rack, the spinning displays and the mobile slatwall units are all fitted with castors, so they can be repositioned for promotions or cleaning.
