Quick Setup Guide: Display & Organization (Without the Clutter)

1) Choose your “home base”

Desktop stand for quick access and clean photos, or a wall mount if you want to save space and build a display wall.

2) Add a tray to keep it sharp

A small organization tray keeps your essentials together so your setup looks intentional—not random.

3) Build a “set” you’ll actually maintain

The best setup is the one you can keep clean. Start with one stand + one tray, then expand as your collection grows.

FAQ

Do your stands work with optics-ready slides?

Many customers choose our stands specifically for modern optics-ready setups. Check each product listing for clearance notes and compatibility details.

Wall mount or desktop stand—what’s better?

Desktop stands are easiest for quick access and photos. Wall mounts are best when you want to save space and build a clean “display wall” look.

What’s the fastest way to improve my setup?

Start with one stand and one organization tray. It’s the simplest combo that instantly makes everything look cleaner and more intentional.
