Very nice little cabinet-just the
"Very nice little cabinet-just the right size for smaller items-I intend installing some LED downlights. Good price and arrived well packaged with prompt delivery."
The CTS5 turns a counter or a desk into a lit showcase. An integrated LED spotlight throws clean light down through the glass, a mirrored base bounces that light back up and doubles the sense of depth, and high-value pieces sit raised on glass shelves where they catch the eye rather than getting lost on a flat surface. The slim, tall tower takes very little counter space for the presence it gives, the brushed silver aluminium frame keeps the look sharp against a professional interior, and a locking front door with two keys keeps the contents secure in a public space. It is a Displaysense design, exclusive to us, and it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Best suited to jewellers, healthcare and exhibition counters where small, valuable items need to look their best and stay locked away.
| Jewellers and Watch Retail | Rings, watches and fine pieces gain a lit, mirrored tower at the till where every facet catches the spotlight and the lock guards small, high-value stock. The slim base leaves room on a serving counter that a wider cabinet would take. |
| Technology and Accessory Retail | Premium gadgets, wearables and accessories present under a clean overhead light behind toughened glass. The locked door protects easily pocketed stock at a busy sales point while keeping it fully on view to the customer. |
| NHS and Healthcare Receptions | Retail products, samples or information items display securely on a reception desk in a wipe-clean silver tower. The lock keeps contents controlled in a public waiting area, and the lit glass keeps a tidy, professional front-of-house look. |
| Councils and Government Buildings | Awards, civic pieces or public information sit lit and locked in a foyer or at a front desk. The neutral silver frame suits an institutional interior, and the compact footprint fits a counter without crowding a public entrance. |
| Exhibitions and Trade Stands | A lit tower gives a stand a secure, eye-level showcase for samples or prize pieces, ready to place the moment it is unboxed. Fully built and light to move, it sets up on a counter with no tools and packs away at the close. |
| Boutique Hotels and Hospitality | Branded gifts, guest amenities or signature products present in a lit case at a concierge desk or a lobby counter. The mirrored base and overhead spotlight give a boutique display the polish a considered hospitality space calls for. |
The same lit, mirrored tower is made in a black aluminium finish as the CTS5BK, matched on the glass, shelves, spotlight and lock, for darker or higher-contrast interiors. Take the silver here for light, contemporary counters, or the black where a bolder frame suits the room.

The Displaysense CTS5 is a premium silver aluminium lockable glass countertop tower display cabinet with an LED light, developed in-house and exclusive to Displaysense. Dimensions: 691mm H x 360mm W x 310mm D. Weight 11.5kg. A slim, tall tower in brushed silver aluminium with 6mm toughened safety glass on all sides, three glass display shelves and a mirrored base that reflects light and stock. An integrated 4W LED spotlight lights the display from above, and the lockable front door comes with two keys. It arrives fully assembled and ready to place on a counter or desk. Suitable for retail, jewellery and technology counters, NHS and healthcare receptions, council and government buildings, exhibitions and hospitality. Also available in a black aluminium finish as the CTS5BK, and as the unlit CTS2. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
Two features work together to make this cabinet a lit display rather than a plain glass box. Above the shelves sits an LED spotlight, fitted inside the frame and aimed down, so the light falls through the clear glass onto whatever is on show. Beneath the lowest shelf is a mirrored base, and this is what sets the cabinet apart, because it catches the spotlight and reflects it back up through the tiers while mirroring the underside of the pieces standing on it. The result is a display lit from above and lifted from below, where a small item gains depth and a group of pieces reads as a fuller collection than the same stock would on an unlit, flat shelf.
The shape is a tower, tall and narrow rather than wide and low. Standing upright on a small base, it presents stock at and above eye level on three glass shelves, which stacks a range vertically and keeps the footprint on the counter small. Glazing the whole tower in toughened safety glass, on the front and both sides, means the display is read from three directions at once, and toughened glass is used because a cabinet that lives on a public counter takes knocks that ordinary glass would not survive. The brushed silver aluminium frame holding it all is kept slim so the eye goes to the lit stock, not the structure around it.
Security comes from a single locking door at the front. It opens on a key for staff to arrange or restock the display and locks on the same key to shut the contents away from the public side of the counter, with two keys supplied so a spare stays safe. That lock is what lets the cabinet sit out on an open counter, a reception desk or an exhibition stand holding valuable stock, in places where an unlocked display could not. Reaching the shelves from the front door also means the tower can stand flat against a wall or a back counter without losing access.
Unlike a flat-packed cabinet, this one arrives fully assembled. It is lifted from the box, stood on a counter and switched on, with no panels to slot together, no shelves to fit and no glass to handle during a build, which removes the point where a glass cabinet is most easily scratched or misaligned. That makes it quick to deploy for an event and simple to move between counters or rooms afterwards. The CTS5 is our own in-house design, available only through Displaysense.
Where a display does not need built-in lighting, the unlit CTS2 offers the same lockable silver glass tower and glass shelves at a plainer specification. Let us know what you plan to display and we can steer you to the version that fits.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design | A Displaysense design, exclusive since 1978 | Developed in-house by us and sold only direct, not through other retailers, with support from the team behind the range. |
| Format | Countertop tower, tall and slim | Presents stock at and above eye level on a small base, giving real display presence for very little counter space in a shop, a foyer or on a stand. |
| Dimensions | 691mm H x 360mm W x 310mm D | A tall, narrow tower sized to sit on a counter or desk rather than the floor, so it draws the eye upward in a compact footprint. |
| Weight | 11.5kg | Light enough for one person to lift, place and reposition between counters, rooms or events without a second pair of hands or a trolley. |
| Lighting | Integrated 4W LED spotlight | Lights the display from above the moment it is switched on, running cool and drawing little power over a long day, with no separate lamp to fit or wire in. |
| Shelves | 3 glass display shelves | Tier a range across three clear levels, letting the spotlight pass down through the display and raising each piece into the eyeline rather than flat on the counter. |
| Base | Mirrored base | Reflects the spotlight back up through the glass and mirrors the stock standing on it, adding depth and making a small display read as a fuller collection. |
| Glass | 6mm toughened safety glass | Glazed all round for a clear three-sided view, and toughened to take the daily contact of a busy public counter and to break safely rather than into shards if struck. |
| Security | Lockable front door, 2 keys | Opens and locks on a key with a spare supplied, keeping valuable stock secure from the customer side while it stays fully on show behind the glass. |
| Frame | Brushed silver aluminium | A slim, neutral finish that suits a professional interior and keeps the focus on the lit stock, not the structure. |
| Assembly | Delivered fully assembled | Arrives built and ready to use, lifted from the box straight onto a counter with nothing to slot together and no glass to handle during a build. |
| Also Available In | Black finish (CTS5BK); unlit (CTS2) | A black aluminium version for darker or higher-contrast rooms, and the CTS2 for the same lockable tower where built-in lighting is not needed. |

Q: What is the best lit countertop cabinet for displaying jewellery or high-value stock?
A: The best lit countertop cabinet for jewellery or high-value stock is the CTS5, a premium silver glass tower with an integrated LED spotlight, a mirrored base and three glass shelves. The spotlight lights the display from above, the mirrored base bounces light back up and adds depth, and a locking front door with two keys keeps small, valuable pieces secure on an open counter. It arrives fully assembled and takes very little counter space for the presence it gives.
Q: How is the display lit?
A: An LED spotlight is built into the top of the cabinet and aimed down over the shelves, so the whole display is lit the moment it is switched on. Being LED it runs cool and draws little power, and because it is integrated there is no separate lamp to clip on or wire in.
Q: What does the mirrored base do?
A: The mirrored base sits under the lowest shelf and reflects the spotlight back up through the glass, while mirroring the pieces that stand on it. That doubles the sense of depth in the cabinet, so a single item looks more substantial and a small group reads as a fuller collection than the same stock would on a plain, unlit flat shelf.
Q: Does it come assembled?
A: Yes. Unlike a flat-packed cabinet, this tower arrives fully assembled. You lift it from the box, stand it on a counter and switch it on, with no panels to slot together and no glass to handle during a build, so a display point is live within minutes of unpacking rather than after a fiddly build.
Q: Is it lockable and secure?
A: Yes. A single door at the front locks on a key, with two keys supplied, so staff can reach the stock while the public cannot get to it. That lock is what lets the cabinet sit out on an open shop counter, a busy reception desk or an exhibition stand while still holding valuable items on show.
Q: How does it compare to the unlit CTS2?
A: The CTS5 and the CTS2 share the same lockable silver glass tower and glass shelves, so the difference is the lighting. This CTS5 adds an integrated LED spotlight and a mirrored base to light and lift the display, which suits high-value or dimly lit settings, whereas the CTS2 is the unlit version for displays that do not need built-in light.
Q: How many shelves does it have?
A: It has three glass display shelves, which tier a range across three clear levels rather than crowding it onto one. The clear glass lets the spotlight pass down through every level, and raising the stock into the eyeline keeps each piece clearly in view rather than sitting flat on the counter.
Q: What is the glass like?
A: The tower is glazed all round in toughened safety glass, so the display is read clearly from the front and both sides. Toughened glass is used because a cabinet on a busy public counter takes daily knocks, and it is made to break safely rather than into sharp shards if it is ever struck.
Q: What sort of items does it suit?
A: It is made for small, high-value or detailed stock such as jewellery, watches, technology accessories, awards and collectables. The lit glass and mirrored base show this kind of piece at its best, catching the light from above and below, and the lock keeps it secure on a shop counter, a reception desk or an exhibition stand.
Q: Where is it typically used?
A: On counters and desks in retail, jewellery and technology shops, NHS and healthcare receptions, council and government buildings, exhibitions and boutique hospitality venues. Anywhere a small footprint needs to give a secure, well-lit display real presence on a counter or desk, the tower suits the position.
Q: Is this exclusive to Displaysense?
A: Yes. It is designed in-house by Displaysense and sold only through us, not through other retailers or signage suppliers. Since 1978 Displaysense has specialised in display, and it backs the cabinet directly once you have it.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Free UK mainland delivery is included on every order, with 28-day returns. Displaysense has fitted UK retail, healthcare and exhibition spaces with display since 1978.

The Displaysense CTS5 is a premium silver aluminium lockable glass countertop tower display cabinet with an LED light, developed in-house and exclusive to Displaysense. Dimensions: 691mm H x 360mm W x 310mm D. Weight 11.5kg. A slim, tall tower in brushed silver aluminium with 6mm toughened safety glass on all sides, three glass display shelves and a mirrored base that reflects light and stock.

Two features work together to make this cabinet a lit display rather than a plain glass box. Above the shelves sits an LED spotlight, fitted inside the frame and aimed down, so the light falls through the clear glass onto whatever is on show. Beneath the lowest shelf is a mirrored base, and this is what sets the cabinet apart, because it catches the spotlight and reflects it back up through the tiers while mirroring the underside of the pieces standing on it.

The shape is a tower, tall and narrow rather than wide and low. Standing upright on a small base, it presents stock at and above eye level on three glass shelves, which stacks a range vertically and keeps the footprint on the counter small.

| Specification | Detail | What This Means for You |
|---|---|---|
| Design | A Displaysense design, exclusive since 1978 | Developed in-house by us and sold only direct, not through other retailers, with support from the team behind the range. |
| Format | Countertop tower, tall and slim | Presents stock at and above eye level on a small base, giving real display presence for very little counter space in a shop, a foyer or on a stand. |
| Dimensions | 691mm H x 360mm W x 310mm D | A tall, narrow tower sized to sit on a counter or desk rather than the floor, so it draws the eye upward in a compact footprint. |
| Weight | 11.5kg | Light enough for one person to lift, place and reposition between counters, rooms or events without a second pair of hands or a trolley. |
| Lighting | Integrated 4W LED spotlight | Lights the display from above the moment it is switched on, running cool and drawing little power over a long day, with no separate lamp to fit or wire in. |
| Shelves | 3 glass display shelves | Tier a range across three clear levels, letting the spotlight pass down through the display and raising each piece into the eyeline rather than flat on the counter. |
| Base | Mirrored base | Reflects the spotlight back up through the glass and mirrors the stock standing on it, adding depth and making a small display read as a fuller collection. |
| Glass | 6mm toughened safety glass | Glazed all round for a clear three-sided view, and toughened to take the daily contact of a busy public counter and to break safely rather than into shards if struck. |
| Security | Lockable front door, 2 keys | Opens and locks on a key with a spare supplied, keeping valuable stock secure from the customer side while it stays fully on show behind the glass. |
| Frame | Brushed silver aluminium | A slim, neutral finish that suits a professional interior and keeps the focus on the lit stock, not the structure. |
| Assembly | Delivered fully assembled | Arrives built and ready to use, lifted from the box straight onto a counter with nothing to slot together and no glass to handle during a build. |
| Also Available In | Black finish (CTS5BK); unlit (CTS2) | A black aluminium version for darker or higher-contrast rooms, and the CTS2 for the same lockable tower where built-in lighting is not needed. |

Q: What is the best lit countertop cabinet for displaying jewellery or high-value stock?
A: The best lit countertop cabinet for jewellery or high-value stock is the CTS5, a premium silver glass tower with an integrated LED spotlight, a mirrored base and three glass shelves. The spotlight lights the display from above, the mirrored base bounces light back up and adds depth, and a locking front door with two keys keeps small, valuable pieces secure on an open counter. It arrives fully assembled and takes very little counter space for the presence it gives.
Q: How is the display lit?
A: An LED spotlight is built into the top of the cabinet and aimed down over the shelves, so the whole display is lit the moment it is switched on. Being LED it runs cool and draws little power, and because it is integrated there is no separate lamp to clip on or wire in.
Q: What does the mirrored base do?
A: The mirrored base sits under the lowest shelf and reflects the spotlight back up through the glass, while mirroring the pieces that stand on it. That doubles the sense of depth in the cabinet, so a single item looks more substantial and a small group reads as a fuller collection than the same stock would on a plain, unlit flat shelf.
Q: Does it come assembled?
A: Yes. Unlike a flat-packed cabinet, this tower arrives fully assembled. You lift it from the box, stand it on a counter and switch it on, with no panels to slot together and no glass to handle during a build, so a display point is live within minutes of unpacking rather than after a fiddly build.
Q: Is it lockable and secure?
A: Yes. A single door at the front locks on a key, with two keys supplied, so staff can reach the stock while the public cannot get to it. That lock is what lets the cabinet sit out on an open shop counter, a busy reception desk or an exhibition stand while still holding valuable items on show.
Q: How does it compare to the unlit CTS2?
A: The CTS5 and the CTS2 share the same lockable silver glass tower and glass shelves, so the difference is the lighting. This CTS5 adds an integrated LED spotlight and a mirrored base to light and lift the display, which suits high-value or dimly lit settings, whereas the CTS2 is the unlit version for displays that do not need built-in light.
Q: How many shelves does it have?
A: It has three glass display shelves, which tier a range across three clear levels rather than crowding it onto one. The clear glass lets the spotlight pass down through every level, and raising the stock into the eyeline keeps each piece clearly in view rather than sitting flat on the counter.
Q: What is the glass like?
A: The tower is glazed all round in toughened safety glass, so the display is read clearly from the front and both sides. Toughened glass is used because a cabinet on a busy public counter takes daily knocks, and it is made to break safely rather than into sharp shards if it is ever struck.
Q: What sort of items does it suit?
A: It is made for small, high-value or detailed stock such as jewellery, watches, technology accessories, awards and collectables. The lit glass and mirrored base show this kind of piece at its best, catching the light from above and below, and the lock keeps it secure on a shop counter, a reception desk or an exhibition stand.
Q: Where is it typically used?
A: On counters and desks in retail, jewellery and technology shops, NHS and healthcare receptions, council and government buildings, exhibitions and boutique hospitality venues. Anywhere a small footprint needs to give a secure, well-lit display real presence on a counter or desk, the tower suits the position.
Q: Is this exclusive to Displaysense?
A: Yes. It is designed in-house by Displaysense and sold only through us, not through other retailers or signage suppliers. Since 1978 Displaysense has specialised in display, and it backs the cabinet directly once you have it.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Free UK mainland delivery is included on every order, with 28-day returns. Displaysense has fitted UK retail, healthcare and exhibition spaces with display since 1978.
Getting a lit display cabinet to earn its place means balancing presentation against security on a busy counter. These guides from the Displaysense knowledge hub look at what a display cabinet can do for a space, the way visual merchandising shapes a store, cutting the risk of theft on the shop floor and displaying products while keeping customers safe.
The CTS5 turns a counter or a desk into a lit showcase. An integrated LED spotlight throws clean light down through the glass, a mirrored base bounces that light back up and doubles the sense of depth, and high-value pieces sit raised on glass shelves where they catch the eye rather than getting lost on a flat surface. The slim, tall tower takes very little counter space for the presence it gives, the brushed silver aluminium frame keeps the look sharp against a professional interior, and a locking front door with two keys keeps the contents secure in a public space. It is a Displaysense design, exclusive to us, and it arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Best suited to jewellers, healthcare and exhibition counters where small, valuable items need to look their best and stay locked away.
| Jewellers and Watch Retail | Rings, watches and fine pieces gain a lit, mirrored tower at the till where every facet catches the spotlight and the lock guards small, high-value stock. The slim base leaves room on a serving counter that a wider cabinet would take. |
| Technology and Accessory Retail | Premium gadgets, wearables and accessories present under a clean overhead light behind toughened glass. The locked door protects easily pocketed stock at a busy sales point while keeping it fully on view to the customer. |
| NHS and Healthcare Receptions | Retail products, samples or information items display securely on a reception desk in a wipe-clean silver tower. The lock keeps contents controlled in a public waiting area, and the lit glass keeps a tidy, professional front-of-house look. |
| Councils and Government Buildings | Awards, civic pieces or public information sit lit and locked in a foyer or at a front desk. The neutral silver frame suits an institutional interior, and the compact footprint fits a counter without crowding a public entrance. |
| Exhibitions and Trade Stands | A lit tower gives a stand a secure, eye-level showcase for samples or prize pieces, ready to place the moment it is unboxed. Fully built and light to move, it sets up on a counter with no tools and packs away at the close. |
| Boutique Hotels and Hospitality | Branded gifts, guest amenities or signature products present in a lit case at a concierge desk or a lobby counter. The mirrored base and overhead spotlight give a boutique display the polish a considered hospitality space calls for. |
The same lit, mirrored tower is made in a black aluminium finish as the CTS5BK, matched on the glass, shelves, spotlight and lock, for darker or higher-contrast interiors. Take the silver here for light, contemporary counters, or the black where a bolder frame suits the room.

The Displaysense CTS5 is a premium silver aluminium lockable glass countertop tower display cabinet with an LED light, developed in-house and exclusive to Displaysense. Dimensions: 691mm H x 360mm W x 310mm D. Weight 11.5kg. A slim, tall tower in brushed silver aluminium with 6mm toughened safety glass on all sides, three glass display shelves and a mirrored base that reflects light and stock. An integrated 4W LED spotlight lights the display from above, and the lockable front door comes with two keys. It arrives fully assembled and ready to place on a counter or desk.

Two features work together to make this cabinet a lit display rather than a plain glass box. Above the shelves sits an LED spotlight, fitted inside the frame and aimed down, so the light falls through the clear glass onto whatever is on show. Beneath the lowest shelf is a mirrored base, and this is what sets the cabinet apart, because it catches the spotlight and reflects it back up through the tiers while mirroring the underside of the pieces standing on it. The result is a display lit from above and lifted from below, where a small item gains depth and a group of pieces reads as a fuller collection than the same stock would on an unlit, flat shelf.
The shape is a tower, tall and narrow rather than wide and low. Standing upright on a small base, it presents stock at and above eye level on three glass shelves, which stacks a range vertically and keeps the footprint on the counter small. Glazing the whole tower in toughened safety glass, on the front and both sides, means the display is read from three directions at once, and toughened glass is used because a cabinet that lives on a public counter takes knocks that ordinary glass would not survive. The brushed silver aluminium frame holding it all is kept slim so the eye goes to the lit stock, not the structure around it.
Security comes from a single locking door at the front. It opens on a key for staff to arrange or restock the display and locks on the same key to shut the contents away from the public side of the counter, with two keys supplied so a spare stays safe. That lock is what lets the cabinet sit out on an open counter, a reception desk or an exhibition stand holding valuable stock, in places where an unlocked display could not. Reaching the shelves from the front door also means the tower can stand flat against a wall or a back counter without losing access.
Unlike a flat-packed cabinet, this one arrives fully assembled. It is lifted from the box, stood on a counter and switched on, with no panels to slot together, no shelves to fit and no glass to handle during a build, which removes the point where a glass cabinet is most easily scratched or misaligned. That makes it quick to deploy for an event and simple to move between counters or rooms afterwards. The CTS5 is our own in-house design, available only through Displaysense.
Where a display does not need built-in lighting, the unlit CTS2 offers the same lockable silver glass tower and glass shelves at a plainer specification. Let us know what you plan to display and we can steer you to the version that fits.
