Comparison
Wooden floating shelves vs. acrylic display shelves
Two of the most popular branded shelf styles, compared side by side.

|---|---|---|

When wooden floating shelves are the better choice
Wood adds warmth and the engraved logo looks crafted. For boutiques, reception walls and home goods lines, choose wooden floating shelves.
When acrylic display shelves are the better choice
Acrylic almost disappears, so the products stand out. For salons, cosmetics counters and collectibles, choose acrylic.
