  • Ratings are for a centered object bearing on about half the top in each direction.
  • Top sag is capped at 1/360 of the span — an Upland standard, so displays read flat and vitrines sit true.
  • The lower frame and leveler feet are load-tested in our shop and rated with a 2× margin — each pedestal's own weight, plus its vitrine and fabric top when selected, is subtracted.
We stacked over 2,000 lbs on one. See the testing

Three pedestals, one package

GROOVE PROFILE · SET OF 3

Each set includes three nesting Groove pedestals in cabinet-grade baltic birch, with scuffproof leveler feet and 1/4" vitrine channels outfitted with security screws. These are the same pedestals we sell individually — construction, finishes, and load testing are covered in depth on the main pedestals page.

The set is priced 10% below buying the same three pedestals individually — the builder shows your exact savings. And because each pedestal is built 2" smaller than the last and padded to tuck inside it, the whole set ships and stores as a single package.

Finger grips routed into each face lift a pedestal out
Inside a nesting pedestal, looking down: foam strips line the walls
Foam strips guide the next pedestal in — no scuffed finishes

Add-ons

PRICED LIVE IN THE BUILDER

Two ways to finish the set. Each is sized to its pedestal and priced live in the builder — and both share the set's 10% discount.

Groove vitrine interior clearance: display space is an inch and a half less than the pedestal top in width and depth, and an inch less than the vitrine in height

Shown on a 12″ pedestal with a 12″ vitrine: the display space inside is 11″ tall and 10.5″ across.

Material
1/4" clear acrylic
Interior

Fabric-Wrapped Tops

A second, upholstered top for each pedestal — a soft, gallery-ready display surface.

// Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Is this only sold as a set of three?
Yes — this product is a nested set of three Groove pedestals sized to tuck into each other. For individual pedestals in standalone sizes, see the main pedestals page.
Do the vitrines travel with the pedestals when they nest?
Vitrines are optional. When included, they ship with the set in their own padded packaging — they don't fit inside the nested pedestals themselves.
What are the fabric-wrapped tops?
An optional second baltic birch top for each pedestal, wrapped in an Oddy-tested performance fabric. The Oddy test is the museum standard for screening materials that sit near sensitive artifacts, so the wrapped tops give you a soft, conservation-conscious display surface.
