What is a modular artist booth kit?

A modular artist booth kit is a set of interlocking frosted panels and connectors that snap together by hand, with no tools, to build display walls, shelves, and cubes for artist alley tables, convention booths, and markets. You arrange the panels to suit your space, then take it apart and rebuild it differently at your next event. Our kits are designed around a standard 180 cm / 6 ft table and can expand to cover a corner or a full booth.

How are your panels better than wire grid cubes?

Wire grid cubes work, but your art competes with the busy metal mesh and clutter showing through. Our frosted panels give you a clean, light-diffusing backdrop so your prints and merch stand out. They are far lighter than steel grids, pack completely flat for travel, and snap into different layouts in under 30 minutes with no tools.

What size tables do your kits fit?

Square Core Kit and Shapeshift Kit fit half tables and counters (around 90 cm / 3 ft). Shapeshift Duo Kit fits a full 180 cm / 6 ft table with tall framing. Shapeshift Max Kit fits double and corner setups (360 cm / 12 ft), free-standing booths, and full convention exhibitor spaces. Every panel and connector is cross-compatible.

How long does setup take?

Most artists have their kit fully set up in under 30 minutes, with no tools and no zip ties. You simply snap the connectors into the panels and stack.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship worldwide using FedEx Express, and shipping is free on orders over $300 AUD. For 33 countries including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the EU, we ship Delivered Duty Paid so the price you see covers customs duties and import taxes.

Can I mix two colours in one kit?

Yes. The Shapeshift Duo and Duo Max kits are built to be two-tone. You can also mix in extra colours with the square and mini rectangle panel add-on packs.

How much weight can these setups hold?

Each shelf panel holds up to 5 kg / 11 lb when built correctly, which covers prints, books, apparel, bags, figures and most 3D merch.

Why The Cheapest Display Is Usually The Most Expensive One

A $20 wire grid cube that bends after two shows is not actually cheap. It just moved the cost to later, when you are standing in a hotel room the night before a show trying to bend it back into shape. Cheap up front and expensive over time is the oldest trap in this business.Cheap is a timing trick, not a savingsWhen something is cheap, the cost does not disappear. It gets deferred. You pay it later in replacement parts, in wasted setup time, in a booth that looks tired next to your neighbor's. Vendors who have done this for years learn to distrust the low number on day one, because it almost never tells the whole story.Think about the actual lifespan of a bargain grid cube or a flimsy pop up frame. Most don't survive a full season of load in, transport, and load out. You replace it, and now you have paid for two displays in the time a durable one would have lasted for one purchase.What durability actually buys youA well built modular kit is not just sturdier, it is designed to be reconfigured. One kit can build different layouts depending on the booth size you get assigned, which means you are not buying a second setup when a show hands you a corner space instead of your usual straight run. That flexibility alone replaces multiple cheap purchases. Our Angled kits push it further with the any-angle panel, which sets at any angle and fits the triangles, so the same kit can build awnings, roofs and arches as well as straight runs and corners.It also sets up fast. No tools, under 30 minutes, which matters more than people expect when you are doing back to back weekend shows and running on four hours of sleep. Time is money too, especially at 7am load in with a line already forming outside.The real comparisonStop comparing sticker prices. Compare cost per show instead. A setup that spreads its cost across 20+ events is doing something a disposable one can never do, no matter how cheap it looked in the cart. The math is not close once you actually run it.Packing matters too. A kit that folds flat travels lighter, which means less baggage cost and less risk of damage in transit compared to bulky folding frames that barely survive one flight. That is money you get back every single trip, quietly, without ever writing a check for it.If you have been buying the same cheap display twice a year, it might be time to look at our modular display kit instead, or compare the full kit lineup to see which size fits your table setup.How do I know if my current display is actually cheap or just deferred cost?Track what you spend keeping it functional over a season. If you are buying replacement parts, tape, or a whole new unit within a year, it was never cheap. It just hid the real price from you at checkout.Isn't a durable kit a bigger risk if my art business changes direction?A reconfigurable kit is actually lower risk here, because it adapts to different booth sizes and layouts as your setup evolves. A disposable display locks you into one shape and one lifespan, which is the riskier bet.What is the biggest hidden cost of a cheap display?Setup time and stress at load in. A wobbly, unpredictable setup eats into the morning you should be spending prepping product and greeting early customers, not wrestling with bent grid wire.

How Self-Serve Tables Let You Sell While You're Busy Talking

You're mid-conversation with a customer who's about to spend real money. Three feet away, someone else is picking up your prints, flipping through them, deciding what they want. If your table needs you to hand every single item over, you just lost that second sale. Self-serve display design fixes this, and it's the single biggest lever most vendors never pull.The math nobody talks aboutA table where you're the bottleneck for every transaction can only move as fast as you can talk. Add a second customer who can browse and grab things on their own, and suddenly your table is running TWO sales at once. That's not a hack. That's just what a grid of self-serve hooks does. People pull a print, check the price tag, bring it to you when they're ready. You never had to stop your conversation.What actually makes a table self-serveIt's not just "put stuff on a wall." A real self-serve setup needs clear sightlines, prices that are visible without asking, and a grid system sturdy enough that people can flip through prints without knocking your whole display over. Our modular display kit is built around this exact idea: grid panels with hooks spaced so browsing doesn't feel like digging through a bin, and a structure solid enough it doesn't wobble when three people are pulling items at once.Setup speed matters more than you thinkIf your booth eats an hour to build every morning, that's an hour you're not making sales. These kits go up in under 30 minutes with no tools, so more of your show time actually goes to selling instead of wrestling PVC pipe and zip ties. You can compare the kit lineup to see which size fits your table footprint.Scaling as you growCore (24 panels) works for a first table. Shapeshift (46 panels) and Shapeshift Angled (46 panels in six shapes) give you room for a full print catalog plus stickers, pins, whatever else you're carrying. Shapeshift Duo (92 panels) is for the vendors doing back to back cons all year and need a build that survives years of heavy use. All of them fit a standard 180cm/6ft table and scale up as your lineup grows.Do I need a huge table for self-serve to work?No. Even a single 6ft table with a good grid wall behind it turns half your surface into self-serve real estate. The wall does the browsing work, your table surface stays clear for wrapping and payment.Will people actually buy without asking me questions?Most will, if the price is visible and the item is easy to grab. People browse in shops without a salesperson hovering. Your table isn't different, it just needs to be SET UP for it.What if someone walks off with something?It happens rarely, and it happens less when your layout keeps you able to glance over even while you're talking to someone else. Open sightlines are part of the self-serve design, not an afterthought.

The Flying Vendor's Guide To Packing Light

Flying to a con is a different beast than driving to one. You can't just cram everything into the car and sort it out later. Every kilo costs you, every extra bag is a decision, and your booth has to survive baggage handlers who do not care about your art. If you've ever paid a $75 overweight fee because your display frame weighed more than your clothes, this one's for you. Start by weighing what you actually bring Most vendors overpack because they've never actually put their booth on a scale. Do it once. Wood grid panels, metal frames, heavy easels, these add up fast and you feel it at the counter. Swap to lightweight materials and the whole equation changes. Our kits use frosted polypropylene panels, ABS connectors and PLA hooks, so the entire wall system weighs a fraction of what a wood-and-metal setup does. One bag, not three The real skill in flying vendor life is consolidation. If your display packs flat, it can travel inside a single checked bag alongside your prints and merch, instead of needing its own oversized case. Our modular kit breaks down flat enough that smaller builds fit the standard 56x36x23cm carry-on allowance entirely, meaning your only checked bag is inventory. Match your kit to your flight, not your dream booth It's tempting to bring your biggest, most impressive setup to every show. Don't. If you're flying, size down. The Core kit (24 panels) or Shapeshift (46 panels) cover a standard table without weighing you down. Save the Shapeshift Duo (92 panels) for shows you're driving to. The Shapeshift Angled kit also sits at 46 panels, a good pick for vendors who fly regularly but still want a roof or an awning over the wall. Browse the full kit lineup and pick by table size first, weight second. You'll thank yourself at check-in. No tools, no extra bag for hardware Old-school displays need a tool bag: allen keys, extra screws, zip ties. That's ANOTHER thing to pack and ANOTHER thing to lose in a hotel room. Our modular display kit snaps together by hand, no tools required, setup under 30 minutes. One less bag, one less thing to forget. How do I keep my checked bag under the weight limit? Weigh your empty bag first, then weigh your display pieces before you pack anything else. Lightweight polypropylene panels and ABS connectors leave you way more room for actual inventory before you hit airline limits. Should I carry my display on or check it? Smaller kits like the Core or Shapeshift can often fit carry-on dimensions. Anything bigger, check it, but pack it as your only checked item so your total baggage fees stay low. What's the biggest packing mistake flying vendors make? Bringing a display sized for their dream booth instead of the table they've actually got. Match the kit to the table, not the ambition.

What Convention Exhibitors Can Learn From Artist Alley Vendors

Artist alley vendors have been solving the same problem convention exhibitors are only just waking up to. Small footprint, big impression, no crew to set it up for you. If you run a trade show booth and you are still hauling pop-up banners and folding tables, you are behind, not ahead.Artists figured out portability firstArtist alley tables get packed into a car, a rideshare, sometimes a suitcase on a plane. There is no loading dock, no forklift, no union labor. That constraint forced a whole subculture to get REALLY good at building displays that fold flat, snap together, and still look intentional under fluorescent convention lights. Trade show exhibitors with actual budgets could learn a lot from vendors who have none.Modular beats custom every timeA custom trade show booth locks you into one size, one layout, one event. Artist alley vendors never had that luxury, so they built systems instead. Panels that reconfigure. Shelves that move. A booth that works at a 6 foot table one weekend and stretches into a double setup the next. Our modular display kit follows that same logic. Core starts at 24 panels for a single table. Shapeshift steps up to 46. Shapeshift Angled keeps 46 panels and adds the any-angle panel, so a booth can have awnings, roofs and arches, not only right angles. Shapeshift Duo goes to 92 panels for a full exhibition booth build.Setup speed is a competitive advantageWatch an artist alley hall open. Half the room is still unpacking cardboard boxes twenty minutes in while the other half is already open for business. That gap is setup time, and it costs money. Every kit in our lineup goes up in under 30 minutes with no tools, which means you are talking to buyers while your neighbor is still hunting for an allen key.Color and finish carry more weight than you thinkCorporate booths default to black and grey because nobody wants to make a decision. Artist alley vendors know better. A distinct color reads from across a crowded hall and gets remembered after the event. We offer 19+ exclusive frosted colours, and we designed them ourselves, we are not reselling a dropshipped panel system with a sticker slapped on it.FAQCan a modular display system handle a full trade show booth, not just a small table?Yes. Shapeshift Duo scales to 92 panels, which covers a full exhibition booth, and you can combine kits to cover a 360cm/12ft double setup if you need more floor presence.Do I need tools or a crew to assemble it?No. Every kit sets up in under 30 minutes by hand. No drill, no wrench, no extra pair of hands required.Will it survive being shipped to multiple events?It packs flat and travels light, which is the whole point. It is built for vendors who move between markets, conventions, and shows, not for a display that lives in one venue forever.If you want to see what a system built for people who actually travel with their booth looks like, check out our modular display kit or see the full kit lineup.

Why Spare Panels Save Your Show When Something Breaks

It always happens at the worst time. A connector snaps while you're loading in, or a panel cracks getting jostled in the car, and doors open in twenty minutes. You cannot run to a hardware store for this. You need the fix already sitting in your bin.Panels break. Plan for it, not around itArtist alley setups take a beating. They get shoved into cars, dropped by tired hands, leaned on by curious kids, and packed away half wet after an outdoor show. A cracked panel or a stripped connector is not a rare event. It is a normal part of owning a display. The vendors who never panic about it are the ones who already have a spare sitting in the bag.This is why every one of our kits ships as a complete kit, never loose parts, WITH spares included. Panel counts and connector counts always stay matched because we build the kit that way from the start. You are not guessing whether you have enough hardware. You already do.A broken panel should be a non-eventThink about the difference between these two mornings. In one, a panel snaps and you spend the next fifteen minutes texting other vendors asking if anyone has a spare connector, while your table sits half built. In the other, you reach into your bag, swap the piece, and keep setting up. Same problem, completely different show.That second version is only possible if the spare was already packed. It is a small thing until the moment you actually need it, and then it is the ONLY thing that matters.Cross-compatible parts mean your spares work no matter whatBecause every panel and connector is cross-compatible across our whole kit range, your spares are not locked to one specific configuration. If you have grown your booth by combining kits or adding panels over time, your original spares still fit. Nothing gets orphaned. If you are still deciding on a starting size, start with a Shapeshift kit and know the spares in the box will carry you through every future expansion.Build the habit, not just the bagKeep your spares in the same pouch every time, check it before you leave the house, and replace anything you use as soon as you get home. It takes two minutes and it is the difference between a hiccup and a ruined show day. See how the kits compare if you're deciding which size to build your spares habit around.FAQDo spares come with every kit or do I need to buy them separately?Every kit ships with spares included as part of the complete set. You are not buying extra parts on top, they are already in the box.What actually breaks most often at shows?Connectors take the most wear since they get clipped and unclipped at every load in and out. Panels crack less often but usually from transport, not use.If I combine two kits, do the spares from both still work together?Yes. Every panel and connector across our kits is cross-compatible, so spares from either kit work across your whole combined setup.

The Boring Booth Trap Every New Vendor Falls Into

Every new vendor makes the same mistake and nobody warns them about it. You spend months on the art. You spend maybe twenty minutes thinking about the table. Then you get to the con and wonder why the booth next to you, with honestly weaker art, is pulling a bigger crowd.The trap is thinking the art speaks for itselfIt doesn't. Not in a room full of other good artists. Your table has maybe a second or two to earn a second look before someone's eyes move on to the next booth. If your setup is a tablecloth, a business card holder, and a wire grid you borrowed, it doesn't matter how good the work pinned to that grid is. The setup itself is telling people there's nothing worth stopping for.Grey and beige are the default, and the default is invisibleMost first-time vendors end up with the same look almost by accident, a plain cloth, a metal grid, whatever colour the table linen came in. It's not a choice, it's just what was available. But when 40 tables in a row all made the same non-choice, none of them stand out. Standing out doesn't require anything fancy. It just requires picking an actual colour on purpose, instead of inheriting the default.Height is the cheapest fix that makes the biggest differenceYou don't need custom carpentry or a five-figure booth budget to escape the boring booth trap. You need height. A wall behind your table, even a modest one, changes how your whole space reads. This is exactly what a modular panel system is for, snap-together 35x35cm panels on ABS connectors that build up to five panels high, around 175cm, with zero tools and about 30 minutes of setup. It fits a standard 180cm/6ft table, so you're not redesigning your whole booth footprint to get there.Pick a colour and commit to itThis is the easiest, cheapest win in the whole list. With 19+ exclusive colours to choose from, pick ONE that isn't grey, isn't beige, and isn't whatever every other table in your row is running. Build your wall in that colour and let your art sit on top of it. Our modular display kit makes this simple because the panels themselves are the colour, not a paint job or a fabric backdrop you have to source separately. If you want the shape to stand out too, the Angled kits add any-angle panels that swing both ways and set at any angle, so the top of that wall can be a roof or an awning instead of another flat edge.FAQIs a boring booth really about the setup, not the art?Mostly, yes. Great art on a forgettable table still gets walked past because nobody stopped long enough to see it.What's the fastest fix for a first-time vendor on a budget?Height and one bold colour. Both come from the same panel system and don't require a big redesign.How long does it take to build a taller, more colourful booth?Under 30 minutes with no tools, so it's not a bigger time cost on the morning of the event.If you're rethinking your setup before your next event, browse the full kit lineup and pick a size and colour that actually stands out.

The Cohesive Booth Look That Turns Browsers Into Buyers

Most people walking an artist alley aisle are browsers, not buyers, right up until something makes them stop. You don't convert them with a bigger sign or a louder pitch. You convert them by looking like you know what you're doing, and cohesion is the fastest way to say that without saying anything.Browsers judge the whole booth, not the best pieceHere's a hard truth. Your strongest piece doesn't save a messy table. People scan the whole space in a glance, and a cluttered, mismatched setup drags down even your best work by association. A cohesive booth does the opposite, it lifts every piece on it, because the presentation already told the browser "this is worth a closer look."Consistency reads as competenceA messy table makes people assume messy business. Late shipping, sloppy packaging, no follow-through. Nobody says this out loud, but it's happening in their head in about two seconds. A clean, matching setup does the reverse work for you. It signals you're organised, which people quietly translate into "I can trust this person with my money."Building that consistency doesn't require custom fabrication. Panel systems like our modular display kit give you the same matching wall every single show, because it's the same panels every time, not whatever mismatched furniture you managed to borrow this month.Give people a reason to walk INTO the booth, not just past itA cohesive colour palette does something specific: it creates a frame. People feel more comfortable stepping inside a space that looks intentional, versus hovering at the edge of a chaotic one worried they'll knock something over. With 19+ exclusive frosted colours to choose from, you can build a frame around your art instead of a generic black grid. Browse all 19+ colours to see what pairs with your work.Practical cohesion beats aspirational cohesionNone of this works if it's a nightmare to set up. The panels are 35x35cm frosted polypropylene that diffuse light so your art actually glows instead of sitting flat under harsh fluorescents, and the whole wall goes up in under 30 minutes with no tools, fitting a standard 180cm table. That means you can actually maintain the cohesive look show after show instead of it falling apart by hour two of setup.Does a cohesive booth really change conversion, or is it just aesthetics?It changes conversion. A cohesive booth lowers the mental friction of stopping and looking, and lower friction means more people actually stop.I have a small booth. Does cohesion still matter at a small scale?Even more so. A small table has less room to hide mismatched elements, so every inconsistency stands out more, not less.What's the fastest fix if my current booth already feels chaotic?Pick one dominant panel colour and build everything else, table runner, signage, cards, around it. That single change does more than any individual decoration.Browsers become buyers the moment your booth stops making them work to understand it. Cohesion does that work for you, before you say a single word.

What A Display Actually Costs You Over A Year Of Shows

You don't spend money on a display once. You spend it every single show, whether you notice it or not. Tape, replacement grids, a bent leg here, a cracked panel there. Add it up over a year and the number is a lot bigger than the sticker price you paid back in January.The receipt you never seeMost vendors track what they spend on inventory and booth fees. Almost nobody tracks what their display costs them over a year. That's the blind spot. A cheap setup doesn't show up as one line item, it shows up as a dozen small ones scattered across twelve months. A new grid here, gaffer tape there, an Uber because the folding table didn't fit in your car.Do this exercise once. Write down every dollar you spent on your booth setup this year, not counting product. Replacement parts, extra bins, tape, zip ties, the emergency hardware store run before a show because a panel snapped. Most vendors are shocked at the total.Cost per show is the only number that mattersSticker price tells you almost nothing. What matters is cost per event. A setup that lasts one season and needs replacing costs you full price again next year. A setup built to last spreads that same cost across 20+ shows, sometimes many more. That math changes EVERYTHING once you actually run it.This is why a lot of full time artists eventually move to a modular system instead of stitching together folding tables and wire cubes. One kit that reconfigures into different layouts, sets up in under 30 minutes with no tools, and holds up across years of load in and load out. Ours now includes the any-angle panel in the Angled kits, the missing piece that lets those layouts include awnings, roofs and arches, not only right angles. The upfront number looks bigger on day one. Divided across a year of shows, it is often cheaper than what you were already spending on patch fixes.What actually drains your budgetIt is rarely the big purchase that hurts. It is the death by a thousand cuts. A grid cube that bends under weight and gets replaced every few months. Fabric panels that sag and need re tensioning before every show. Storage bins that crack in transit. None of it feels expensive in the moment. All of it adds up to real money by December.Baggage costs count too. A display that packs flat and travels light saves you on flights and rideshares all year, not just on the display itself. That is part of the real cost of a show, and most vendors never put it in the spreadsheet.Start tracking it properlyOpen a note on your phone. Every show, log what you spent keeping your booth standing, separate from product cost. After three shows you will see the pattern. After a year you will know exactly what your display costs you, and whether it is time to stop patching and invest in something that holds its shape for years, not months.If you are ready to stop tracking repair costs and start tracking shows, take a look at our modular display kit, or compare the full kit lineup to find the size that fits your table.How do I actually calculate my cost per show?Add up everything you spend keeping your booth functional over a year, including replacement parts, tape, storage, and any extra baggage fees from a heavy or bulky setup. Divide that total by the number of shows you did. That is your real number, not the price tag from the day you bought it.Is it worth switching mid season?If your current setup is already costing you in repairs and stress at every show, waiting until next year just adds another season of patch costs. A reconfigurable kit that sets up in minutes pays you back in saved setup time immediately, on top of the long term savings.Does a better display actually make more money too?Indirectly, yes. A clean, sturdy booth that goes up fast means more energy for customers and less time wrestling with a wobbly grid before doors open. That is real, even if it is harder to put a number on than a repair bill.

Tiny Table, Big Presence: What Actually Fits

You don't need a huge booth to look like a serious vendor. You need to stop trying to fit everything you own onto a tiny table and start being ruthless about what earns a spot there. Presence isn't about square footage. It's about what people see first.What a tiny table can actually holdLet's be real about the numbers. A standard table runs 180cm, about 6ft, but a lot of small con spaces hand out quarter and half tables that shrink that fast. On a footprint that small, flat bins and stacked totes just eat your whole surface. Panel systems don't. A single vertical grid gives you multiple shelves in the same footprint a couple of flat bins would take up.Each panel is 35x35cm, frosted polypropylene, holding up to 5kg per shelf. That's enough for prints, small plush, stickers, charm racks, all displayed at once instead of buried in a bin someone has to dig through.Cut the clutter before you buildThis is the part everyone skips. Before you even touch a panel, decide what your top 10 pieces are. Not your top 30. Ten. Everything else goes in a folder or a bin under the table. A tiny table crammed with everything you've ever made looks messy. A tiny table with ten hero pieces displayed clean looks CURATED, and curated sells.Vertical is non-negotiable on a small footprintIf your table is small, height is where you win. Build up with panels instead of laying everything flat. It changes your whole silhouette from across the room. People remember booths that had a shape, not booths that were just a table with stuff on it.Setup speed matters more when space is tightTiny tables often mean tighter aisles and less room to maneuver bulky setup gear. A kit that packs flat into a 56x36x23cm carry-on and assembles in under 30 minutes with no tools means you're not wrestling oversized shelving through a packed hallway or blocking your neighbor while you figure out a wrench.Colour does the heavy liftingOn a small table, colour is doing a lot of your branding work since you don't have much surface area for signage. Pick from 19+ exclusive panel colours and commit to one or two that match your brand. A clean colour story on a tiny table reads more professional than a rainbow of mismatched bins ever will.What's the smallest kit that still looks put together?The Core kit at 24 panels works well for compact accent displays where you just need a clean vertical wall, not a full backdrop.Should I bring my whole inventory to a tiny table event?No. Bring your best sellers and rotate stock from under the table as things sell. A packed table looks cluttered and actually sells worse.How do I make a small table look bigger than it is?Build vertically instead of flat, keep your colour palette tight, and leave a little breathing room between pieces instead of edge to edge coverage.Small table, real presence.

Fitting Your Whole Booth In A Carry-On

You know the moment. You're standing at check-in watching the agent eyeball your bags, doing baggage-fee math in their head before they say a word. If your display is the reason you're sweating the scale, we need to talk. Most artist alley displays were never built with a plane in mind. Grid walls, PVC frames, wooden panel systems. Great for a car trunk. Absolute nightmare for an airport gate. The good news is this is a solved problem, not something you have to duct-tape your way around. What actually needs to fit Strip your booth down to what it really is: wall panels to hang art on, something to hold them up, maybe some signage. That's it. The panels are the bulky part, so that's where you fix the problem first. Our modular display kit packs completely flat. The panels, connectors and hooks stack down small enough to fit inside the usual 56x36x23cm carry-on allowance most airlines use. No checked bag required for the whole wall system. You walk it onto the plane with you. Why flat-pack beats folding Folding frames still have hinges and joints. They fold down, sure, but they don't flatten. A true flat-pack system, like the frosted polypropylene panels and ABS connectors in our kits, breaks apart into thin, stackable pieces. There's a real difference between "smaller" and "flat," and your suitcase only cares about flat. Pick the right kit size for carry-on travel Flying solo and want maximum portability? Start with the Core kit at 24 panels, the lightest footprint for a first table setup. Need more wall space? The Shapeshift (46 panels) still travels light. The Shapeshift Angled kit, also 46 panels, covers a standard convention table and adds any-angle panels for roofs and awnings. Going bigger with the Shapeshift Duo (92 panels) means you'll likely want to check a bag, but even then you're checking ONE bag, not a crate. Check out our modular display kit if you want to see exactly how the pieces break down, and browse the full kit lineup to match a size to your table. Setup speed matters just as much as size A carry-on booth is useless if it takes you an hour to build at your table with a line forming behind you. These kits snap together with no tools and go up in under 30 minutes. Panels click into ABS connectors, PLA hooks hold your prints and merch. You're not hunting for an allen key at 8am on setup day. Will my display actually pass carry-on size limits? The flat-packed kit fits inside the standard 56x36x23cm carry-on dimension most major airlines allow. Always double check your specific airline's limits before you fly, since a few budget carriers run tighter. What if I need a bigger booth than carry-on allows? Go up a kit size and check one bag. Even the Shapeshift Duo still packs flat, so it's one manageable checked item instead of an oversized crate that gets flagged as freight. How tall can I build with a carry-on kit? Panels are 35x35cm and you can stack up to 5 high, which gets you about 175cm (roughly 69 inches) of wall. Plenty for a standard table backdrop.

Starting Small And Building Your Booth Over Time

You do not need the full booth on day one. Nobody does. Most vendors start with a folding table, a few grid walls borrowed from a friend, and a lot of hope. That is fine. What matters is what you buy next, and whether it actually fits what you already have.Here is the trap. A lot of vendors buy cheap, mismatched pieces early because they are scared to spend money on something they might outgrow. Then six months later they are buying a whole new setup because none of it connects to what they already own. That is buying twice for one booth.Buy the system, not the sizeThe fix is simple. Buy into a system where every panel and every connector is cross-compatible across kits. Start with a smaller kit for your first few shows, then add panels later when your table grows or you move up to a bigger space. You are not replacing anything. You are adding to it.That is the whole idea behind our kits. Start with a Shapeshift kit if you are not sure how big you will end up going. It is the smart default because it expands cleanly with add-ons instead of boxing you in.Know the sizes before you commitOur lineup runs from a Core kit with 24 panels for low walls or half tables, up through Shapeshift at 46 panels, Shapeshift Angled at 46 panels in six shapes for a full table with roofs and awnings, and Shapeshift Duo at 92 panels for double tables, corners, or a proper booth. You can start at Core and grow all the way to Duo using the same connectors. Nothing gets thrown out.Think in tables, not panelsEvery kit fits a standard 180cm (6ft) table and builds up to 5 panels high, which is about 175cm or 69 inches. When you are ready to go bigger, two kits combine into a 360cm (12ft) double setup for corner booths. You do not need to plan the whole thing out today. You just need a starting kit that will not fight you later.Setup time matters more than people thinkA booth you can build small and confidently is a booth you will actually set up right, every single time. Our kits go up in under 30 minutes with no tools, which matters just as much at show 40 as it does at show one. See how the kits compare before you pick your starting size.FAQWhat size kit should I start with if I only have a half table right now?The Core kit is built for exactly this. Low walls, half tables, a light footprint you can carry easily. You can add a Shapeshift add-on set later without buying a new system.Can I really combine two different kit sizes later?Yes. Every panel and connector across every kit size is cross-compatible, so a Core kit and a Shapeshift kit will lock together without adapters or workarounds.Do I need to plan my final booth size before I buy anything?No. That is the point of starting small. Buy for where you are now and add as your table grows. You are never locked into the first size you pick.

How To Make People Stop At Your Table In A Room Of 200

Two hundred tables. One aisle. Maybe two seconds of attention per booth as people scan past looking for something specific, or nothing at all. That's the actual math you're competing against, and it's brutal. Here's how to win a bigger slice of it.Give the eye a reason to stop movingEyes in a crowd default to scanning, not stopping. Something has to physically interrupt that motion. That's almost always a combination of height and colour working together, a wall taller than the tables around it, in a colour nobody else on the row picked. It's not about being the prettiest booth. It's about being the one thing that breaks the pattern.Repeat your signature so it sticks after they walk awayGetting someone to stop is only half the job. You also want them to remember your booth later in the day when they're deciding where to spend what's left of their budget. A consistent visual signature, same colour wall, same panel layout, same logo placement, does that work for free. People start saying "go back to the blue booth" to their friends without even remembering your name yet.Make your booth work from 15 feet awayMost vendors design their table to look good up close. But the decision to walk over happens way before anyone's close enough to read small text. Design for the far view first: bold blocks of colour, a clean silhouette, minimal small print. Save the detail for once they're standing at your table.Build a wall, not a displayThis is where a modular panel system does the heavy lifting. Instead of assembling a display from mismatched grids and clip lights, you're building an actual wall behind your table using 35x35cm frosted panels and snap-together ABS connectors, no tools, no drilling. Builds go up to five panels high, around 175cm, tall enough to genuinely read as a booth from across the hall. The Core kit (24 panels) suits a smaller table, the Shapeshift Angled (46 panels in six shapes) adds the any-angle panel, the missing piece that lets a wall end in an awning, a roof or an arch, and the Shapeshift Duo (92 panels) is built for bigger footprints like double tables and corner spots. Check out our modular display kit to see how the sizes compare.FAQWhat's the single biggest thing that gets people to stop?Height combined with one strong colour. It's the fastest way to break out of a scanning eye's default path.Does a taller booth cost me setup time on a busy morning?No. A snap-together panel system sets up in under 30 minutes with no tools, so you're not trading visibility for load-in time.How do I stand out without clashing with the venue's own colours?Pick one dominant panel colour from a range built for this, there are 19+ exclusive colours, and let your art provide the contrast rather than fighting your own wall for attention.Planning your next event? browse the full kit lineup to find the right size for your table.

Building A Colour Palette That Makes Your Table Instantly Recognisable

Ask yourself this: could a regular from last year's con find your table again just by walking past it, without reading a single sign? If the answer is no, your booth doesn't have a colour palette. It has a pile of stuff.Pick your two or three colours and stop thereThe biggest mistake artists make is treating every element as its own decision. Panel colour, tablecloth, business card holder, price tags, all picked separately, all fighting each other. Instead, choose two or three colours total and force everything to live inside them. It sounds restrictive. It's actually what makes a booth look designed instead of assembled.With 19+ exclusive frosted colours available for panels, you've got enough range to build almost any palette without dyeing fabric or painting anything yourself. Browse all 19+ colours before you commit to one, since seeing them together changes what pairs well.Let your art pick the palette, not the other way aroundDon't start with "I like sage green" and then force your art to match it. Pull two or three dominant tones straight out of your own pieces. If your work runs moody and desaturated, a soft grape or slate panel colour will make your prints pop instead of competing with them. If your palette is bright and saturated, a neutral frosted white or pale colour lets the art carry the loud energy while the booth stays calm.Repeat it everywhere, not just on the wallsA palette only reads as a BRAND when it repeats. Panels, table runner, price cards, even your tote bags or stickers on the counter, same two or three colours showing up again and again. That repetition is what makes people recognise your table across a crowded aisle before they can even see your art clearly.Let the panels actually help your colours look goodThis part gets skipped a lot. The panels themselves are 35x35cm frosted polypropylene, which diffuses light instead of bouncing it back hard the way glossy plastic does. That matters for colour perception. A diffused, softly lit backdrop makes both your panel colour and your art's colour look richer, not washed out under convention hall lighting. Building the wall itself is simple too, our modular display kit sets up in under 30 minutes with no tools and fits a standard 180cm table.How many colours should my booth palette actually have?Two is safe, three is the practical ceiling. Past that it starts reading as random again, even if each individual colour is nice.Should my palette match my logo exactly?Close enough that people connect the two, but it doesn't need to be a pixel match. A family of tones around your brand colour works better than a single locked hex code.What if I sell prints across very different art styles?Pick a neutral palette that supports contrast, like a pale frosted colour, so wildly different pieces still sit inside one consistent frame instead of clashing with each other.A recognisable table isn't about having the biggest sign. It's about someone spotting your colours from thirty feet away and already knowing whose table it is before they arrive.

How To Build Up When You Can't Build Out

Every artist alley vendor hits this wall eventually. The table won't grow. The floor space is locked. You've got exactly what you've got, and no amount of wishing turns a 90cm table into a 6-footer. So you stop asking for more room and start asking a better question: how tall can I go?The math nobody tells youPanels stack. Five panels high gets you to roughly 175cm, about 69 inches. That's eye level for most adults and then some. Your display isn't competing for floor space anymore, it's competing for sightline, and sightline is free. Nobody's charging you extra table fee for the air above your table.This is the whole idea behind modular panel systems instead of folding tables and borrowed corkboard. You're not fighting your footprint, you're using the one dimension nobody else at the con thought to claim.Weight distribution matters more than you thinkGoing tall only works if it's stable. Wobbly displays are a liability, not a flex. Each shelf on our panels holds up to 5kg, and the ABS connectors plus PLA hooks are built to lock tight instead of sagging under a stack of prints and charms. Build your heaviest pieces low, lighter pieces up top. Basic physics, but it's the difference between a booth that impresses people and one that terrifies you every time someone walks past too fast.Pick the right kit for your height goalNot every vendor needs the same amount of vertical real estate. The Core kit at 24 panels is a lean starting point for small accent walls. The Shapeshift at 46 panels is the smart default for low or shared tables. The Shapeshift Angled, 46 panels in six shapes, is the one for building up on a full 180cm table, because its any-angle panels set at any angle and turn the top of the wall into a roof or an awning. If you're going big, corners, double tables, full booths, the Shapeshift Duo at 92 panels is where you land.Vertical builds change how people shop your tableWhen your display goes up instead of out, browsing behavior changes. People stop and scan top to bottom instead of just glancing at what's directly in front of them. That's more eyeball time on more pieces, without asking for a single extra inch of floor space. Your booth reads BIGGER than it physically is, and that's the entire game in a cramped hall.How tall is too tall for an artist alley booth?Most cons cap booth height around 8 feet, though rules vary. A 175cm build sits comfortably under most limits while still towering over flat tabletop displays.Do I need special tools to build vertically?No tools needed. The panel and connector system snaps together by hand, and a full setup usually takes under 30 minutes.Will a tall display block my neighbor's booth?Keep your tallest panels toward your own back or outer edge, not facing into a shared table or aisle sightline, and you'll stay considerate while still standing out.You can't always build out. You can almost always build up. Check out our modular display kit or browse the full kit lineup to find your height.

Flat Table, Flat Sales: Why Height Changes Everything

Your prints are great. Your table is flat. And flat sells worse than it should, every single time. If you've ever watched a taller booth two rows over pull a crowd while your table sat quiet, this is why.Human eyes scan across, not downPeople walking a convention aisle scan roughly at eye level. A flat table sits well below that line, so unless someone is already looking for prints on tables, your entire display never enters their field of view. You could have the best piece in the hall sitting six inches from a stranger's hip and they'll never register it. Height puts your work where the scan actually happens.Flat tables cap how much you can even showThere's also just a practical ceiling. A flat table only has so much surface area, and once it's covered, everything competes for the same few square feet. Going vertical doesn't just help visibility, it gives you actual new space. Stack panels up to five high (around 175cm) behind your table and suddenly you've got a wall's worth of room for prints, stickers, hanging goods, without eating into your table surface at all.Height signals effort, and effort signals trustThis one's less obvious but just as real. A flat table with a tablecloth and a cash box looks like a garage sale, even if the art is incredible. A built-up booth with a structured wall behind it looks like a business. People trust businesses with their money more than they trust a folding table. That trust is doing quiet work on your conversion rate whether you notice it or not.Getting height without the headacheThe reason most new vendors stay flat isn't that they don't know height helps. It's that building a wall sounds like carpentry, and nobody wants to be drilling grommets into panelling at 11pm before a con. A snap-together system solves that. Our modular display kit uses 35x35cm frosted panels with ABS connectors and PLA hooks, no tools required, and the whole thing sets up in under 30 minutes. The Shapeshift Angled Display Kit (46 panels in six shapes) is the one built for height on a standard 180cm/6ft table: its any-angle panels swing both ways and set at any angle, so the wall can finish in a roof, an awning or an arch. The Shapeshift Duo Display Kit (92 panels) handles double tables, corners, and bigger booth footprints.FAQHow much extra height do I actually need to notice a difference?Even two panels high starts to break the flat sightline. Building toward five panels (around 175cm) gets you a real wall, not just a taller table.Will height make my table look cluttered?The opposite, usually. Vertical space spreads your work out so your table surface stays clear for transactions instead of being crammed with everything you own.Can I still travel light with a taller setup?Yes. Panels pack flat and fit a carry-on sized case (56x36x23cm), so height doesn't mean more luggage.If you're planning your next booth, browse the full kit lineup to find a size that fits your table and your travel setup.

Why Your Booth Should Look Like Your Art, Not A Yard Sale

You spent months on your art. Then you show up to the con and throw it on a folding table with a beige tablecloth from home. That mismatch is costing you sales, and most artists don't even notice it's happening.Here's the thing: people decide whether to stop at your table in about two seconds. They're not reading your prices yet. They're not even looking at individual pieces. They're reacting to the WHOLE picture. If that picture looks like a yard sale, your art gets judged like yard sale stuff, no matter how good it actually is.Your display is part of the artThink about it from the browser's side. A table full of random bins, mismatched risers, and a sign taped on with painter's tape reads as "I'm not serious about this." A table with a clean colour story and art that's actually lit properly reads as "this person has their stuff together." Same art. Completely different first impression.This is why a lot of artists switch to modular panel systems instead of cobbling together shelves and easels. With our modular display kit, you're building walls out of matching frosted panels instead of five different materials fighting each other for attention. And with the any-angle panel in the Angled kits, which swings both ways and sets at any angle, those walls can end in a roof, an awning or an arch that looks like part of your art, not only right angles.Colour does the talking before you say a wordYou don't get to greet every person who walks by. Your booth has to sell itself for those few seconds before you open your mouth. A cohesive colour palette across your panels and signage does that job for you. There are 19+ exclusive frosted colours to pick from, so you can actually match your palette instead of settling for whatever black cube grid the venue rents out. Browse all 19+ colours and find the one that fits your art.The panels themselves work with your art, not against itThe 35x35cm frosted polypropylene panels aren't just a neutral backdrop. They diffuse light, so your prints glow instead of sitting behind harsh glare off plastic. That matters more than people think. Flat lighting kills detail in a print. Diffused light lets colour actually read the way you intended it.It fits the table you already haveNone of this requires a special table. The system fits a standard 180cm/6ft table and builds up to 5 panels high, about 175cm, so you get real wall space without hauling a truss system. Setup is under 30 minutes with no tools, and it packs flat back into your car after. Whether you're running Core at 24 panels for a small local market or the Shapeshift Duo's 92 panels for a full con booth, it's the same clean build every time.Do I need to match my panel colours exactly to my art style?Not exactly, just consciously. Pick two or three colours that echo what's already in your work, whether that's a warm palette or something cooler and moodier, and repeat them across your panels and table linens.Will a cohesive booth actually change my sales?It changes who stops. A cohesive look reads as intentional and gets more people to walk in and browse instead of glancing and moving on, which is the whole game at a con.What if my art style itself is chaotic or maximalist?Then your booth can be bold too, just bold on purpose. Pick a loud colour and commit to it everywhere, rather than letting five random elements clash by accident.A messy table makes people assume messy business. A cohesive one, built on panels that actually match your art, makes people assume you're worth trusting with their money. That's the whole pitch.

The Small Space Display Playbook For Shared Tables

Sharing a table is its own art form. You've got a stranger's elbow six inches from your prints, two totally different colour palettes fighting for the same sightline, and half the real estate you planned around. Nobody teaches you how to actually win at this. So let's fix that.Claim your zone early, and claim it verticallyThe first artist to set up usually sets the tone for the whole table. Don't spread flat across your half and hope your neighbor respects the invisible line. Build up instead. A vertical panel system marks your territory clearly without you having to say a word about it. Nobody argues with a grid of panels standing between two spaces.This is exactly what the Shapeshift kit was made for, 46 panels, built to start on shared or low tables around 90cm. You get a real backdrop, not a pile of prints leaning against a stand you're praying doesn't tip.Talk to your tablemate before you buildSounds obvious, still gets skipped constantly. Before you snap a single panel together, have the five minute conversation. Who's building tall on which side. Whose signage goes where. Whose color scheme dominates the middle. A five minute chat saves you from tearing down a wall of panels at 9am on day one because it's blocking someone's sign.Match your build height to your neighbor, don't just tower over themGoing taller than the person next to you feels like a power move. It's usually just rude, and it can block their visibility entirely, which nobody appreciates at a con where everyone needs each other's goodwill for the whole weekend. Step your build DOWN toward the shared middle and let your tallest panels live on your own outer edge.Setup speed is a shared-table superpowerWhen you're sharing a table, you're often also sharing a setup window. A system that assembles in under 30 minutes with no tools means you're not the reason the whole table is late opening. Panels pack flat into a 56x36x23cm carry-on, so you're not hauling oversized crates through a crowded hallway while your tablemate waits.Colour cohesion without losing your identityTwo artists, two brands, one table. The panels come in 19+ exclusive colours, so you can pick something that complements your neighbor instead of clashing outright. You don't need matching branding. You need panels that don't visually fight each other from ten feet away.How do I split a table fairly between two artists?Measure the table length and split it evenly, then agree on a shared middle zone for signage or a joint sign. Build your displays outward from your own half, not into theirs.What if my tablemate's display is louder than mine?Go vertical instead of competing on volume. A tall, clean panel wall reads as intentional even next to a busier neighbor.Can one kit really work for two different art styles?Yes. Panels are neutral frosted polypropylene, so they don't compete with your art, they frame it. Our modular display kit works the same whether you're doing pastel chibis or moody linework.Shared tables don't have to be a compromise. Browse the full kit lineup and build a setup that respects the space and still stands out.

The Booth That Stops People Mid-Walk: What Actually Works

You know the booth. You've seen it at every con. People are mid-stride, heading somewhere else entirely, and then they just stop. Feet planted, head turned. That's not luck. That's not a bigger budget either. It's a handful of specific things done right, and none of them require you to be a carpenter.It's a wall, not a tableThe booths that stop foot traffic almost never rely on the table itself. The table is just where transactions happen. The thing that actually catches people is what's standing behind and around it. A vertical wall of panels reads completely differently to a passing brain than a flat spread of prints on a cloth. One says shop. The other says stall.This is the whole idea behind a panel-based setup. Snap together frosted polypropylene panels with ABS connectors and PLA hooks, and you're not decorating a table anymore, you're building a small structure. Builds go up to five panels high, around 175cm, which is genuinely booth-sized, not table-sized.Symmetry and repetition read as intentionalRandom placement reads as clutter, even when the art itself is great. A booth that stops people usually has some kind of visual rhythm, repeated panel shapes, an even colour block, a consistent grid your prints hang from. Your brain processes repeated structure faster than chaos, and fast processing is exactly what you need in the few seconds someone has to decide whether you're worth their time.Colour block, don't colour scatterA wall of 30 different coloured prints pinned to a plain grid is busy. A wall in ONE strong panel colour, with your art as the accent, is a landmark. People remember "the booth with the electric blue wall" long before they remember your table number. With 19+ exclusive colours available, you're picking a signature, not just a background.It has to survive the actual convention floorNone of this matters if your setup wobbles every time someone bumps the table, or if it takes so long to build you're still assembling when doors open. A good panel system sets up in under 30 minutes with no tools, packs flat into a carry-on sized case (56x36x23cm), and holds up to 5kg per shelf so your prints and merch actually stay put through a busy Saturday. Our modular display kit was built around exactly this brief, fast to build, sturdy through a full con day, and it fits a standard 180cm/6ft table without hanging off the edges.FAQWhat actually makes people stop walking, height or colour?Height gets your booth into their peripheral vision first. Colour is what makes them decide it's worth a second look. You need both working together.How tall should my display actually be?Builds up to five panels high land around 175cm, tall enough to read as a wall from across a row, not just a taller table.Is a taller booth harder to pack up and travel with?Not if it's modular. Panels pack flat and fit a carry-on sized case, so height doesn't mean a harder load-in.Ready to plan your layout? browse the full kit lineup and find the size that matches your table.

Making A Half Table Feel Like A Full Booth

You show up. You get your table assignment. And it's a half table. Six feet just became three. Your stomach drops a little because you spent weeks planning a layout that doesn't fit anymore.Here's the truth: a half table isn't a punishment. It's a design problem, and design problems have solutions. The vendors who crush it on a half table aren't the ones with the most prints. They're the ones who stopped thinking flat and started thinking UP.Height is your new widthWhen your footprint shrinks, your only move left is vertical. A half table is roughly 90cm, which happens to be exactly where a Shapeshift kit starts out. It's built for this exact scenario, low tables, tight footprints, sharing space with another artist. You're not improvising with borrowed shelving anymore. You've got panels that click together in a grid, no tools, and you're set up before your tablemate finishes unpacking their tote bag.Panels are 35x35cm frosted polypropylene, and they hold up to 5kg per shelf. That's real weight. Prints, stickers, small plushies, charm boards, all stacked without the whole thing wobbling every time someone brushes past.Stop laying prints flatFlat bins on a half table eat your entire surface in about four rows. Vertical panels give you shelf after shelf in the same footprint. Suddenly your half table displays more product than some full tables running flat bins and a laptop stand.This is HUGE if you're a solo artist without a table partner to negotiate space with. You get your full presence back just by building upward instead of outward.Colour still matters at half sizeSmall booth, still needs to read from six feet away. Pick one or two panel colours and stick with them. A cluttered mismatched grid reads chaotic even when it's technically organized. With 19+ exclusive colours to choose from, you can actually match your brand instead of settling for whatever grid system your table mate already owns.Pack light, set up fastHalf tables usually mean early arrival windows get tight, especially if you're sharing with someone who also needs setup time. A kit that packs flat and fits into a 56x36x23cm carry-on means you're not wrestling oversized cube shelving through a convention center hallway. Setup itself takes under 30 minutes with zero tools, so you're not the reason your table partner is standing around waiting.Do I need a full Shapeshift kit for a half table?No. The Shapeshift kit at 46 panels is the smart default for exactly this size. It's built for 90cm and low or shared tables, so you're not overbuying panels you'll never use.Can I still grow into a bigger booth later?Yes. The panels are modular, so you add on as your table size grows instead of replacing the whole system. Many artists start on a half table and expand into a full 180cm table with the same core panels.Will vertical displays block sightlines to my tablemate?Keep your tallest builds toward your own edge and step height down toward the shared middle. It respects their space and still gives you a strong vertical presence.A half table doesn't have to feel like a downgrade. Browse the full kit lineup and find the setup that actually fits your footprint instead of fighting it.

Why Your Table Keeps Getting Walked Past (And How To Fix It)

You've been sitting there for three hours. Your art is good. You know it's good. And people just keep walking past like your table is invisible. It's not you. It's not your art. It's your setup.Here's the hard truth nobody tells new vendors: in a packed hall, eye level does the selling before you ever open your mouth. If everything on your table sits flat under 30cm, you're competing with 200 other flat tables. You blend in. And blending in in artist alley means getting walked past.Flat tables disappear in a crowdThink about walking down a row of 40 tables. Your eyes skim across at roughly the same height the whole time, unless something breaks that line. A flat table covered in prints is a wall of sameness. Nobody's brain flags it as worth stopping for. You need something that physically interrupts the sightline, something taller than the table next to you.This is why height matters so much more than most new vendors realize. A booth that climbs up, not just out, catches peripheral vision from ten feet away. People stop because something LOUD pulled their eye before they even processed what it was.Build up, not just outThis is where a modular panel system earns its keep. Instead of stacking prints flat on a tablecloth, you're building actual vertical real estate. Our modular display kit is built from 35x35cm frosted panels that snap together with ABS connectors, no tools, no glue, no drilling into a table you rented for the weekend. You can stack up to five panels high, which gets you close to 175cm of vertical display space behind your table. That's a wall. That's a booth. That's something people notice from across the room.The Shapeshift Angled Display Kit (46 panels in six shapes) is the one to look at for height: it scales with almost any table size, and its any-angle panels swing both ways and set at any angle, so the top of your wall can be a roof, an awning or an arch, not only a right angle. If your setup is smaller, the Core kit (24 panels) gets you started without overbuilding for a table you don't have room for. If you're running double tables or a corner spot, the Shapeshift Duo Display Kit (92 panels) is built for that scale.Colour is doing half the workHeight gets the eye there. Colour keeps it there for the extra half second you need. Grey wire grids and beige tablecloths photograph like a storage unit. A wall in a colour nobody else in the row picked reads as a destination, not a stall. There are 19+ exclusive colours to choose from, so you're not stuck matching whatever the con's standard grid comes in.FAQHow much height do I actually need to stop stop being walked past?Anything under table height blends in. Once you're building panels above the table, even two or three high, you're already ahead of half the room.Will a taller booth take longer to set up?Not with a snap-together system. Most vendors are fully built in under 30 minutes with no tools, so height doesn't cost you setup time.Do I need a huge table for a tall display?No. These panels fit a standard 180cm/6ft table, so you're adding height without needing more floor space.If you want to see the full range before deciding on a size, browse the full kit lineup and match it to your table.
