The merchandising system may include a base configured to support product and a housing configured to engage the base. The housing may comprise a top wall, a first side wall, a second side wall, and a front retaining wall. The system may further include a spring-urged pusher movably mounted on the base and a dampener assembly mounted to the spring-urged pusher configured to control the rate of speed at which the spring-urged pusher is urged forward.

- a housing configured to engage with the base, comprising a top wall, a front wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall, wherein the front wall includes a finger hole and an opening located at the bottom of the front wall;
- a spring-urged pusher movably mounted on the base;
- and
- a lever configured to lift product upward over a front retaining wall such that the product slides through the opening, wherein the lever is configured to be actuated by a finger through the finger hole in the front wall, such that when the lever is actuated by the finger, the lever lifts the product over the front retaining wall.

- a spring-urged pusher movably mounted on the base;
- and
- a lever configured to lift product upward over the at least one retaining wall wherein the product slides through the opening, wherein the lever is configured to be actuated by a finger through the finger hole in the front wall, such that when the lever is actuated by the finger, the lever lifts the product over the front retaining wall.
