Rep Power: 0 | This is a good fixture guy: http://www.barryroseco.com He's got an affordable, plain-jane reception counter (WL 400). I bought a 6' one in walnut for $601 + tax & shipping: http://barryroseco.com/_counters.html Tell him that Sean from Tennessee referred you.

Rep Power: 0 | Yeah, it was a really good deal. Granted, it doesn't have many frills, and is just a standard commercial-looking fixure. However, I might end up modifying mine a bit. It looks decent, but if you want to add more style to it, it makes a great base to work with and customize. It sure is a much more affordable route then most I've seen. |

Rep Power: 21 | Don't know what I paid for my counter but I love it - we had our woodworker build it along with doing our crown moulding & baseboards etc. He maybe got $500 for everything - we paid for the materials. We might have spent $1500 for the desk stuff. It's 14 feet long - half is display case - glass front, open back - customers can get right up close to the lotions but can't grab and run. sliding shelves for towels, shelf for the cash drawer. Bar fridge underneath for water & lunch. I bought inexpensive storage drawers and a small file cabinet. Electricity is brought from overhead (open both ends to access both hallways) I love it. It looks great and is very functional. One day I'll take a picture and post it. |

Rep Power: 0 | Hey, thought I'd put in my two cent opinion. I was going to have my custom made by a wood worker but I happened to find one in a recycle type store. It's all glass except for the corner edges and base that holds it all together. The top, front and sides are glass and the back has sliding glass doors. I got it for $150, it's only 7 foot but fits my space perfectly. |
