Configurable display system and modular display arrangement for consumer electronic devices

A method of displaying electronic devices, the method comprising:

• assembling a display system on a supporting floor, the assembling comprising:
• providing a base module having a front and a back and including a substantially planar top surface defining a first row of apertures and a second row of apertures, wherein:
• the first row of apertures and the second row of apertures are each substantially linear,
• the back of the base module is taller than the front of the base module,
• the first row of apertures is positioned nearer the front of the base module than the second row of apertures,
• the second row of apertures is positioned above the first row of apertures relative to the supporting floor,
• the first row of apertures and the second row of apertures extend substantially parallel to one another,
• the substantially planar top surface is collectively defined by a plurality of plates that are each slidably repositionable within a plane substantially defined by the substantially planar top surface between a first position and a second position previously occupied by a different one of the plurality of plates,
• wherein each aperture in the first row of apertures and the second row of apertures is defined by a different one of the plurality of plates, the display system further includes device support units each extending through and above a different aperture of the first row of apertures and the second row of apertures to support a consumer electronic device above the plurality of plates, and assembly of the display system includes sliding the plurality of plates to a desired one of the first position and the second position to layout the first row of apertures and the second row of apertures in a desired manner;
• and
• placing a plurality of electronic devices each having a power source extending therefrom for display on the device support units including placing each of the plurality of electronic devices such that each power source extends through a different aperture of the first row of apertures and the second row of apertures and into the base module to form a first row of electronic devices and a second row of electronic devices.
