The corners are mitred and glued rather than lock jointed, so they open after one move and the paint cracks at the arris. And there is no ballast, so a tall plinth with a light object on it can be knocked over by somebody walking past with a coat.

Fittings are cam locks into steel inserts rather than screws into board, so it comes apart for a move and goes back together square. Level it on the feet before anything goes on top, and check it with a level across both diagonals rather than along the front, because a gallery floor is almost never flat and a plinth that follows the floor is the thing everybody notices and nobody can name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifying it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo rules cover most of it. The top of a plinth should be a little smaller than the footprint of the object, not larger, because a visible margin of empty plinth reads as a mistake and an object that slightly overhangs reads as deliberate. And the height should put the centre of the work between 1300 and 1500mm off the floor, which is eye level for most people standing at a comfortable viewing distance. For a small object that means a tall plinth, which people resist and should not. If in doubt, send us the dimensions and weight of the piece and we will tell you the size we would use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plinth Studio","offers":[{"title":"Standard height","offer_id":58785482539340,"sku":"PLS-PLI-094-ST","price":869.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cut to your height","offer_id":58785482572108,"sku":"PLS-PLI-094-CT","price":919.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1091\/8300\/9100\/files\/Display_Plinth_800mm_by_400mm_by_900mm_High_in_Matt_Black_Lacquer.jpg?v=1789057382"},{"product_id":"tabletop-display-case-800mm-by-400mm-by-400mm-high-with-a-matt-black-lacquer-base","title":"Tabletop Display Case 800mm by 400mm by 400mm High with a Matt Black Lacquer Base","description":"\u003cp\u003eA glass case on a matt black lacquer base, sized for a long case, for a model ship, a rifle or a run of small objects in a row.
