Economical Portable Exhibition Counter
The Basics Curved Counter provides a stable tabletop and a neat curved front profile in a lightweight, portable format.
It is a practical choice when you need a professional display counter without the cost, weight or bulk of a premium rigid unit.
When assembled, the counter measures approximately 926mm high × 910mm wide × 470mm deep. This gives you a useful
customer-facing surface while keeping the footprint compact enough for smaller exhibition stands, retail environments
and promotional spaces.
Suitable for exhibitions, trade shows and roadshows
Ideal for retail and shopping-centre promotions
Can be used plain or upgraded with printed branding
Optional internal storage shelf available
Optional header panel kit available for additional visibility
Compact footprint for smaller display areas
Tabletop supports up to 50kg when evenly distributed
Strong, Simple Construction
The counter consists of a top panel, base panel and heavy-duty curved tambour wrap. Assembly is quick and straightforward:
position the base, form the tambour around the shape of the counter and then fit the tabletop into place.
Once assembled, it provides a sturdy working surface suitable for brochures, samples, lightweight equipment, tablets,
giveaways and other general event materials.
This makes the counter particularly well suited to regular exhibitions as well as occasional promotions,
temporary reception areas and one-off events.

Hidden Rear Storage Area
The open rear of the counter provides useful hidden storage for brochures, leaflets, samples, small giveaways,
packaging, stationery and personal items. This allows you to keep your display area tidy while still having
essential materials close to hand.
The rear opening can also act as a kneehole when the counter is used as a temporary workstation,
welcome desk or registration point.

Optional Internal Storage Shelf
Add the optional internal shelf kit to create a useful second storage level inside the Basics Curved Counter.
It is ideal for keeping brochures, catalogues, samples, tablets, charging cables and event paperwork organised
and within easy reach.
The kit includes the lightweight grey Correx shelf together with the support fixings required to mount it
inside the counter. The fixings attach to the corrugated tambour wrap and support the shelf within the
otherwise open internal storage area.

Reversible Beech-Effect and Black Tabletop
The standard tabletop and base panel are reversible. One face has a beech-effect wood finish and the opposite
face has a black finish, allowing you to choose the appearance that best complements your exhibition stand or branding.
The visible side edge of both the tabletop and base panel is finished in black. This gives the counter a clean,
consistent appearance whether the black face or the beech-effect face is positioned upwards.
Important if ordering the header kit:
the additional pre-drilled tabletop supplied with the optional header panel kit is black on both sides.
Your normal reversible black/beech-effect tabletop is still supplied with the counter, so you receive both tabletops.
The standard tabletop has black and beech-effect faces, both with a black outer edge profile.
Plain Counter Finish Comparison
These views show the standard unprinted counter with the same grey tambour wrap and the reversible tabletop
fitted in its two available orientations.
Black tabletop facing upwardsA clean, contemporary finish with a black working surface and black edge profile.
Beech-effect tabletop facing upwardsA warmer wood-effect surface with the same black outer edge profile.
Optional Custom Printed Graphic Panel
The counter is supplied as standard with a plain grey tambour wrap. For a fully branded display,
you can add an optional custom printed graphic panel that wraps around the front and curved sides of the counter.
The printed panel is produced onto heavyweight stoplight polyester film and finished with a crystal
scratch-resistant laminate. This creates a clean, professional finish suitable for repeated use at events.
Use the panel to display your logo, brand colours, campaign artwork, promotional message or product imagery.
The wrap-around format creates a large, highly visible branding area without increasing the footprint of the counter.
Printed Counter Finish Comparison
The same printed counter can be assembled with either face of the standard reversible tabletop uppermost.

Printed counter with beech-effect tabletopThe wood-effect face creates a warmer appearance while retaining the black edge profile.
Concealed Hook-and-Loop Graphic Attachment
The optional printed graphic wraps around the outside of the counter and secures inside recessed rebates
beneath the tabletop and around the base panel.
Hook-and-loop fastening is fitted inside both rebates. This keeps the attachment points hidden from normal
view and helps create a neat, professional edge around the finished counter.
The removable fastening system also makes it straightforward to take off the graphic for storage or
replace it with new artwork for a future campaign.

Recessed rebates help conceal the graphic edges

The underside rebate contains the hook-and-loop strip used to secure the upper edge of the printed graphic.
Replacement Wrap-Around Graphic Panels
You do not need to replace the complete counter when your main wrap-around branding changes.
Replacement printed panels are available separately for both the curved and round versions of the Basics Counter.
This makes the counter suitable for businesses that attend several events, promote different products
or update their branding periodically.

Optional Printed Header Panel Kit
Give the Basics Curved Counter additional height and visibility with the optional printed header panel kit.
The elevated header creates an extra branding area above the counter, helping your display stand out across
busy exhibitions, retail promotions, sampling events and campaign activations.
The kit includes an additional pre-drilled black tabletop, two silver support poles and a rigid header panel
measuring approximately 795mm wide × 295mm high.
The support poles are approximately 1190mm long and position the top of the header approximately 1300mm
above the countertop. With the header fitted, the complete display stands approximately 2226mm high overall.

Extra Branding Above the Counter
The printed header creates a highly visible branding area above countertop level, making it particularly
useful where the counter needs to attract attention from further away.
Your artwork can be coordinated with the main wrap-around counter graphic to create a consistent display,
or the header can carry a separate logo, promotional message, campaign title or call to action.
Please note:
the pre-drilled tabletop supplied with the header kit is finished in black on both sides.
It does not have the reversible beech-effect face found on the standard counter tabletop.

Two Tabletops Supplied When You Choose the Header Kit
Ordering the header panel kit does not remove or replace the standard tabletop supplied with the counter.
You receive the complete standard counter together with a second tabletop specifically designed for the header system.
Standard tabletop: reversible black and beech-effect finish, without header mounting holes.
Header-kit tabletop: black on both sides and supplied pre-drilled with mounting holes for the two support poles.
This means the same counter can be used in its normal configuration without the header, or fitted with the
additional black tabletop whenever the elevated header display is required.
Quick and Simple Header Assembly
The header system is designed to assemble using straightforward hand-tightened fittings.
The supplied tabletop is already drilled in the correct positions, so no drilling or specialist tools are required
when using the header kit in its intended configuration.
1. Insert the support poles
A threaded fixing at the bottom of each silver pole passes through the corresponding pre-drilled hole in the black tabletop.
2. Hand-tighten underneath
Reach into the open rear of the counter and secure each threaded pole from underneath using the supplied wing nut.
3. Fit the header panel
The top of each support pole locates into one of the two plastic mounting cups fitted to the rear of the header panel.
Updating the Header Graphic
The header kit provides the support poles, mounting hardware and rigid header structure. Your printed branding is
produced as a separate Foamex face panel which is applied to the front of the supplied header.
If your branding changes later, you do not need to replace the complete header kit. A new Foamex print can simply
be ordered to the same size and applied over the existing header face.
The standard counter packs down into a two-piece carry bag set. One bag carries the top and base panels,
while the tube-style bag holds the tambour wrap and optional printed graphic.
The packed standard counter weighs approximately 13.8kg, split between the two bags.
A printed wrap-around graphic panel adds approximately 2kg.
The optional header kit weighs approximately 5.5kg and is supplied in addition to the standard counter components.
Its compact packed format makes the Basics Curved Counter convenient to transport by car and straightforward
to store between events.

How does the header panel attach?
