A Compact, Lit Glass Counter Cabinet for Tight Spaces
The DHC1004 is the compact, portable cabinet in the lit counter range, light enough to move between a shop and a show. Glass on every side opens the display to a clear view from the front and both ends, while eight LED spotlights pick out the detail on watches, jewellery or small tech. Lockable sliding doors keep valuables secure as staff reach them from the rear, and the slim silver aluminium frame keeps the look sharp on a busy counter. At its lighter weight it lifts and repositions far more easily than a full-size counter, and packs down to travel to a show. It is our own in-house design, sold only through Displaysense. Best suited to jewellers, exhibition stands and pop-up retail where a lit, secure display has to stay compact and travel well.
Why a Lighter Cabinet Is Easier to Move and Set Up
- Glass on every side for a clear view: The sides, sliding front and top are clear glass, so a shopper takes in the whole piece from the front and both ends rather than a single face. A small, detailed item stays fully on show from wherever a customer stands, while it sits secure inside the locked case.
- Compact enough for a crowded counter: On a modest footprint the cabinet drops onto a till point or a stand table where a larger counter would not fit, adding a lit, secure showcase without taking over the space. It suits shops, tills and stands that are short on room to spare.
- Light enough to move on its own: As the lightest counter in the range, it can be lifted and repositioned or loaded for a show far more easily than a heavier unit, which is what makes it a favourite for traders and exhibitors working across more than one venue.
- Eight spotlights on small detail: The LED spotlights throw clean light across the shelves so fine finishes, stones and screens read sharply, lifting compact stock out of the dull, shadowed look that open shelving under flat lighting gives.
- Sliding doors, locked from the front: Reached from behind, the glass doors run sideways in their tracks and shut on a key, so the stock is sealed off from the customer while staff get in easily. Because they slide, nothing swings out into a cramped stand or counter space.
- A Displaysense design in slim silver: Developed in-house and exclusive to us, the slim silver finish is kept deliberately understated so the glass and the lit products carry the look on the counter rather than the slim silver cabinet around them.
Where a Portable Display Cabinet Suits Retail and Events
| Jewellers and Watch Retail | Rings, watches and fine pieces gain a bright glass case at the counter where every facet is visible from three sides. The lock protects small, high-value stock from the customer side, and the compact size fits a till point that a larger cabinet would crowd out. |
| Electronics and Gadget Retail | Phones, wearables and accessories present under clean spotlights with a clear view through the glass on every side. The lock guards compact, easily pocketed stock at a busy sales point, while the lit glass keeps the range on full view to the customer. |
| Exhibitions and Trade Shows | Being the lightest counter in the range, it loads for a show and sets up on a stand with far less effort than a full-size unit, giving travelling exhibitors a secure, well-lit case for samples or prize pieces wherever they trade. |
| Galleries and Museums | Small artefacts and editions show in a clear glass case that keeps the focus on the piece, letting visitors read it from every side. Rear sliding access lets staff arrange the display without reaching over it or exposing it. |
| Showrooms and Product Launches | A launch piece or hero product takes centre stage in a lit glass case that reads as a clean pedestal rather than a boxed-in cabinet. The compact size lets it sit on a plinth or counter as a focal point in a branded space. |
| Pop-Ups and Market Traders | A cabinet light enough to carry and quick to set gives a temporary shop or a market pitch a secure, illuminated display that looks permanent. It locks the stock away at close and packs down to move on to the next site. |
Want This Compact Counter in Black?
You can also have this compact counter in a black aluminium finish for a darker or higher-contrast room, the same on size, glass, lighting and doors. Pick the silver here for light, contemporary settings, or the black where a stronger outline suits the space.
Call us on 01279460460 or drop us a message and we can suggest the finish that suits.
The Displaysense DHC1004 is a silver aluminium glass counter display cabinet with eight LED spotlights and lockable sliding doors, the compact, portable and lightest model in the lit counter range, exclusive to Displaysense and developed in-house. Dimensions: 900mm H x 1000mm W x 500mm D. Weight 45kg. Silver anodised aluminium frame with toughened glass panels on the front, ends and top and fixed internal glass shelves. Eight LED spotlights light the display. Lockable sliding glass doors with keys secure the contents. Supplied flat-packed with some assembly required and instructions. Suitable for jewellers, electronics and technology retail, galleries, exhibitions, trade shows, showrooms, product launches and pop-up retail. Also available in a black aluminium finish as the DHC1004BK, and in a deeper 600mm version as the DHC1005. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
A glass counter cabinet earns its place by being seen into from every side, and this one is glazed on the front, both ends and the top so a display reads from wherever a customer stands. It sits at counter height as a freestanding unit rather than a case placed on a surface, with the stock raised into the sightline and a silver aluminium frame holding the glass square. What marks this model out in the range is not the glazing, which it shares with its siblings, but the size and weight, and that is where the rest of its design is aimed.
Size and weight are what make it the travelling member of the range. At counter height on a compact footprint it takes far less of a counter or a stand table than a wide unit, and at its low weight one person can lift, carry and reposition it or load it for a show without a team or a trolley. For a trader working several venues or a shop that rearranges often, the difference between a cabinet that has to be manoeuvred and one that can simply be picked up decides how usable it really is.
The lighting is worked by eight LED spotlights fitted to light the interior. LEDs are used because they throw a clean, bright light onto small items without the heat a filament bulb would build up inside a sealed glass case, and because they draw little power they can stay lit through a full day of trading or a long show. Aimed across the shelves, the spotlights lift the finish and detail of compact stock that would otherwise sit flat and grey under a room's general lighting.
Access and security come from sliding doors at the back that close on a key, so stock stays sealed from the public side while staff serve from behind, and a sliding door needs no clear swing space at a tight counter. The cabinet is supplied flat-packed and put together on site with the instructions provided, which ships the glass more safely than a built unit and keeps the parcel a manageable size. It is a Displaysense in-house design sold only through us.

FAQs About This Compact LED Counter Cabinet
Q: What is the best compact display cabinet for a jewellery counter or exhibition stand?
A: The best compact display cabinet for a jewellery counter or exhibition stand is the DHC1004, a counter-height silver glass cabinet with eight LED spotlights and lockable sliding doors. Glass on every side gives a clear view of a piece from three sides, the spotlights pick out fine detail on small pieces, and the sliding doors lock at the rear to keep valuables secure from the customer side. As the lightest counter in the range, it stays compact on a tight counter and travels easily between a shop and a show.
Q: Is the display visible from all sides?
A: The front, both ends and the top are glazed, so a piece is on clear view from wherever a customer stands around the counter, while the sliding doors at the back give staff their access. The silver aluminium frame holds the glass square and secure, and only the lower base is solid.
Q: How heavy is it, and can one person move it?
A: It weighs 45kg, the lightest counter in the range, so one person can lift, reposition or load it for an event without a trolley or a second pair of hands. That portability is why it is a common choice for traders and exhibitors who work more than one venue, or shops that rearrange their layout often.
Q: Does it have built-in lighting?
A: Yes. Eight LED spotlights are fitted to light the interior, throwing clean, cool light across the shelves so the detail on small stock reads sharply. Being LED they run cool inside the sealed glass case and draw little power, so they can stay on through a full day of trading or a long show.
Q: Is it lockable and secure?
A: Yes. The sliding glass doors close on a key lock with keys supplied, so the display stays sealed from the customer side while staff reach it from the back. That keeps small, high-value stock protected on an open counter or a busy exhibition stand.
Q: Does it come assembled?
A: No, it is supplied flat-packed with some assembly required, and clear instructions are included. Shipping it in parts rather than pre-built protects the glass in transit and keeps the delivery to a manageable size, and it goes together on site from the instructions without specialist tools.
Q: How does this compare to the deeper DHC1005?
A: This DHC1004 is the shallower, lighter model at 500mm deep and 45kg, made to stay compact and travel well. The DHC1005 shares the 1000mm width but runs 600mm deep for larger objects or a double row of stock, at a heavier 77kg. The two use the same LED spotlights, key-locked sliding doors and silver framing, so it comes down to a compact, portable case or the extra depth.
Q: What sort of items does it suit?
A: It is built for small, high-value or detailed stock such as jewellery, watches, electronics, models, awards and collectables. The lit glass and locked doors keep this kind of display sharp, visible from every side and secure at a shop counter or on an exhibition stand.
Q: Is it suitable for exhibitions and pop-ups?
A: Yes, it is built with travelling display in mind. Its light weight and compact size make it easy to transport and set up on a stand, and the lock secures the stock at close, so it gives a trade show, pop-up or market pitch a professional, protected display, and it then packs down again to move on to the next site.
Q: Can extra lighting be added?
A: The eight built-in LED spotlights are designed to light the display on their own, but the cabinet can also be positioned under a counter's own spotlights or ambient lighting for extra brightness. The clear glass lets that outside light through cleanly to the contents on every side.
Q: Is this a Displaysense design?
A: Yes. This is our own design, made only for Displaysense and not sold through other retailers or signage suppliers. Displaysense has worked in display and cabinets since 1978 and supports the cabinet directly after purchase.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Every order ships free to the UK mainland, and returns are welcome within 28 days. Displaysense has fitted UK retail, gallery and exhibition spaces with display since 1978.

A: Yes. This is our own design, made only for Displaysense and not sold through other retailers or signage suppliers. Displaysense has worked in display and cabinets since 1978 and supports the cabinet directly after purchase.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Every order ships free to the UK mainland, and returns are welcome within 28 days. Displaysense has fitted UK retail, gallery and exhibition spaces with display since 1978.

A Compact, Lit Glass Counter Cabinet for Tight Spaces
The DHC1004 is the compact, portable cabinet in the lit counter range, light enough to move between a shop and a show. Glass on every side opens the display to a clear view from the front and both ends, while eight LED spotlights pick out the detail on watches, jewellery or small tech. Lockable sliding doors keep valuables secure as staff reach them from the rear, and the slim silver aluminium frame keeps the look sharp on a busy counter. At its lighter weight it lifts and repositions far more easily than a full-size counter, and packs down to travel to a show. It is our own in-house design, sold only through Displaysense. Best suited to jewellers, exhibition stands and pop-up retail where a lit, secure display has to stay compact and travel well.
Why a Lighter Cabinet Is Easier to Move and Set Up
- Glass on every side for a clear view: The sides, sliding front and top are clear glass, so a shopper takes in the whole piece from the front and both ends rather than a single face. A small, detailed item stays fully on show from wherever a customer stands, while it sits secure inside the locked case.
- Compact enough for a crowded counter: On a modest footprint the cabinet drops onto a till point or a stand table where a larger counter would not fit, adding a lit, secure showcase without taking over the space. It suits shops, tills and stands that are short on room to spare.
- Light enough to move on its own: As the lightest counter in the range, it can be lifted and repositioned or loaded for a show far more easily than a heavier unit, which is what makes it a favourite for traders and exhibitors working across more than one venue.
- Eight spotlights on small detail: The LED spotlights throw clean light across the shelves so fine finishes, stones and screens read sharply, lifting compact stock out of the dull, shadowed look that open shelving under flat lighting gives.
- Sliding doors, locked from the front: Reached from behind, the glass doors run sideways in their tracks and shut on a key, so the stock is sealed off from the customer while staff get in easily. Because they slide, nothing swings out into a cramped stand or counter space.
- A Displaysense design in slim silver: Developed in-house and exclusive to us, the slim silver finish is kept deliberately understated so the glass and the lit products carry the look on the counter rather than the slim silver cabinet around them.
Where a Portable Display Cabinet Suits Retail and Events
| Jewellers and Watch Retail | Rings, watches and fine pieces gain a bright glass case at the counter where every facet is visible from three sides. The lock protects small, high-value stock from the customer side, and the compact size fits a till point that a larger cabinet would crowd out. |
| Electronics and Gadget Retail | Phones, wearables and accessories present under clean spotlights with a clear view through the glass on every side. The lock guards compact, easily pocketed stock at a busy sales point, while the lit glass keeps the range on full view to the customer. |
| Exhibitions and Trade Shows | Being the lightest counter in the range, it loads for a show and sets up on a stand with far less effort than a full-size unit, giving travelling exhibitors a secure, well-lit case for samples or prize pieces wherever they trade. |
| Galleries and Museums | Small artefacts and editions show in a clear glass case that keeps the focus on the piece, letting visitors read it from every side. Rear sliding access lets staff arrange the display without reaching over it or exposing it. |
| Showrooms and Product Launches | A launch piece or hero product takes centre stage in a lit glass case that reads as a clean pedestal rather than a boxed-in cabinet. The compact size lets it sit on a plinth or counter as a focal point in a branded space. |
| Pop-Ups and Market Traders | A cabinet light enough to carry and quick to set gives a temporary shop or a market pitch a secure, illuminated display that looks permanent. It locks the stock away at close and packs down to move on to the next site. |
Want This Compact Counter in Black?
You can also have this compact counter in a black aluminium finish for a darker or higher-contrast room, the same on size, glass, lighting and doors. Pick the silver here for light, contemporary settings, or the black where a stronger outline suits the space.
Call us on 01279460460 or drop us a message and we can suggest the finish that suits.
The Displaysense DHC1004 is a silver aluminium glass counter display cabinet with eight LED spotlights and lockable sliding doors, the compact, portable and lightest model in the lit counter range, exclusive to Displaysense and developed in-house. Dimensions: 900mm H x 1000mm W x 500mm D. Weight 45kg. Silver anodised aluminium frame with toughened glass panels on the front, ends and top and fixed internal glass shelves. Eight LED spotlights light the display. Lockable sliding glass doors with keys secure the contents. Supplied flat-packed with some assembly required and instructions. Suitable for jewellers, electronics and technology retail, galleries, exhibitions, trade shows, showrooms, product launches and pop-up retail. Also available in a black aluminium finish as the DHC1004BK, and in a deeper 600mm version as the DHC1005. Displaysense, UK display product specialists since 1978. Free UK mainland delivery.
A glass counter cabinet earns its place by being seen into from every side, and this one is glazed on the front, both ends and the top so a display reads from wherever a customer stands. It sits at counter height as a freestanding unit rather than a case placed on a surface, with the stock raised into the sightline and a silver aluminium frame holding the glass square. What marks this model out in the range is not the glazing, which it shares with its siblings, but the size and weight, and that is where the rest of its design is aimed.
Size and weight are what make it the travelling member of the range. At counter height on a compact footprint it takes far less of a counter or a stand table than a wide unit, and at its low weight one person can lift, carry and reposition it or load it for a show without a team or a trolley. For a trader working several venues or a shop that rearranges often, the difference between a cabinet that has to be manoeuvred and one that can simply be picked up decides how usable it really is.
The lighting is worked by eight LED spotlights fitted to light the interior. LEDs are used because they throw a clean, bright light onto small items without the heat a filament bulb would build up inside a sealed glass case, and because they draw little power they can stay lit through a full day of trading or a long show. Aimed across the shelves, the spotlights lift the finish and detail of compact stock that would otherwise sit flat and grey under a room's general lighting.
Access and security come from sliding doors at the back that close on a key, so stock stays sealed from the public side while staff serve from behind, and a sliding door needs no clear swing space at a tight counter. The cabinet is supplied flat-packed and put together on site with the instructions provided, which ships the glass more safely than a built unit and keeps the parcel a manageable size. It is a Displaysense in-house design sold only through us.

FAQs About This Compact LED Counter Cabinet
Q: What is the best compact display cabinet for a jewellery counter or exhibition stand?
A: The best compact display cabinet for a jewellery counter or exhibition stand is the DHC1004, a counter-height silver glass cabinet with eight LED spotlights and lockable sliding doors. Glass on every side gives a clear view of a piece from three sides, the spotlights pick out fine detail on small pieces, and the sliding doors lock at the rear to keep valuables secure from the customer side. As the lightest counter in the range, it stays compact on a tight counter and travels easily between a shop and a show.
Q: Is the display visible from all sides?
A: The front, both ends and the top are glazed, so a piece is on clear view from wherever a customer stands around the counter, while the sliding doors at the back give staff their access. The silver aluminium frame holds the glass square and secure, and only the lower base is solid.
Q: How heavy is it, and can one person move it?
A: It weighs 45kg, the lightest counter in the range, so one person can lift, reposition or load it for an event without a trolley or a second pair of hands. That portability is why it is a common choice for traders and exhibitors who work more than one venue, or shops that rearrange their layout often.
Q: Does it have built-in lighting?
A: Yes. Eight LED spotlights are fitted to light the interior, throwing clean, cool light across the shelves so the detail on small stock reads sharply. Being LED they run cool inside the sealed glass case and draw little power, so they can stay on through a full day of trading or a long show.
Q: Is it lockable and secure?
A: Yes. The sliding glass doors close on a key lock with keys supplied, so the display stays sealed from the customer side while staff reach it from the back. That keeps small, high-value stock protected on an open counter or a busy exhibition stand.
Q: Does it come assembled?
A: No, it is supplied flat-packed with some assembly required, and clear instructions are included. Shipping it in parts rather than pre-built protects the glass in transit and keeps the delivery to a manageable size, and it goes together on site from the instructions without specialist tools.
Q: How does this compare to the deeper DHC1005?
A: This DHC1004 is the shallower, lighter model at 500mm deep and 45kg, made to stay compact and travel well. The DHC1005 shares the 1000mm width but runs 600mm deep for larger objects or a double row of stock, at a heavier 77kg. The two use the same LED spotlights, key-locked sliding doors and silver framing, so it comes down to a compact, portable case or the extra depth.
Q: What sort of items does it suit?
A: It is built for small, high-value or detailed stock such as jewellery, watches, electronics, models, awards and collectables. The lit glass and locked doors keep this kind of display sharp, visible from every side and secure at a shop counter or on an exhibition stand.
Q: Is it suitable for exhibitions and pop-ups?
A: Yes, it is built with travelling display in mind. Its light weight and compact size make it easy to transport and set up on a stand, and the lock secures the stock at close, so it gives a trade show, pop-up or market pitch a professional, protected display, and it then packs down again to move on to the next site.
Q: Can extra lighting be added?
A: The eight built-in LED spotlights are designed to light the display on their own, but the cabinet can also be positioned under a counter's own spotlights or ambient lighting for extra brightness. The clear glass lets that outside light through cleanly to the contents on every side.
Q: Is this a Displaysense design?
A: Yes. This is our own design, made only for Displaysense and not sold through other retailers or signage suppliers. Displaysense has worked in display and cabinets since 1978 and supports the cabinet directly after purchase.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Every order ships free to the UK mainland, and returns are welcome within 28 days. Displaysense has fitted UK retail, gallery and exhibition spaces with display since 1978.

A: Yes. The sliding glass doors close on a key lock with keys supplied, so the display stays sealed from the customer side while staff reach it from the back. That keeps small, high-value stock protected on an open counter or a busy exhibition stand.
Q: Does it come assembled?
A: No, it is supplied flat-packed with some assembly required, and clear instructions are included. Shipping it in parts rather than pre-built protects the glass in transit and keeps the delivery to a manageable size, and it goes together on site from the instructions without specialist tools.
Q: How does this compare to the deeper DHC1005?
A: This DHC1004 is the shallower, lighter model at 500mm deep and 45kg, made to stay compact and travel well. The DHC1005 shares the 1000mm width but runs 600mm deep for larger objects or a double row of stock, at a heavier 77kg. The two use the same LED spotlights, key-locked sliding doors and silver framing, so it comes down to a compact, portable case or the extra depth.
Q: What sort of items does it suit?
A: It is built for small, high-value or detailed stock such as jewellery, watches, electronics, models, awards and collectables. The lit glass and locked doors keep this kind of display sharp, visible from every side and secure at a shop counter or on an exhibition stand.
Q: Is it suitable for exhibitions and pop-ups?
A: Yes, it is built with travelling display in mind. Its light weight and compact size make it easy to transport and set up on a stand, and the lock secures the stock at close, so it gives a trade show, pop-up or market pitch a professional, protected display, and it then packs down again to move on to the next site.
Q: Can extra lighting be added?
A: The eight built-in LED spotlights are designed to light the display on their own, but the cabinet can also be positioned under a counter's own spotlights or ambient lighting for extra brightness. The clear glass lets that outside light through cleanly to the contents on every side.
Q: Is this a Displaysense design?
A: Yes. This is our own design, made only for Displaysense and not sold through other retailers or signage suppliers. Displaysense has worked in display and cabinets since 1978 and supports the cabinet directly after purchase.
Q: Is it available with free UK delivery?
A: Yes. Every order ships free to the UK mainland, and returns are welcome within 28 days. Displaysense has fitted UK retail, gallery and exhibition spaces with display since 1978.
