The steel shelves affixed to the framework are partitioned and designed to hold either four 5” x 10” x 2 cm stone samples or two 10” x 10” x 2 cm stone samples. The shelves are angled to allow for visibility of all the samples. You state that the shelves are not configurable for other uses. The model also includes a literature holder.
