I try to make 2 or 3 local craft shows each year to try and recover some of the expense of this hobby. As I get older, I am looking for ways to reduce the physical labor involved in setting up/tearing down. I am thinking of getting some riker mount boxes, so that they can be filled at home, then simply set out on tables. I was looking at the flex-top boxes (plastic instead of glass tops). Any thoughts/advice/experience would be appreciated.

Sounds like that's the way to go,or just build your own cases out of plywood,with plex glass....

Thanks for the response. Not too good with the plywood and plexiglass, so I ordered some of the riker mounts. Bonus is they will be good for storage the rest of the time.

I find that riker cases are generally bad for long term storage. The paper gets beat up and the glass breaks. plastic craft boxes with the little compartments and a secure lid work much better. just add a little cushion to each compartment with each cab.

Also riker boxes can't get wet (in case that's a problem at your shows).
