A freestanding fixture is a piece of furniture or equipment that can stand on its own and withhold the weight of products displayed on it. Freestanding fixtures are shelves or other pieces of furniture that hold products. Retailers used them to display items and to promote products that are on sale.
The term freestanding is also used paired with retailers. A freestanding retailer or a standalone shop is a type of store that is not inside a shopping mall or any other type of shopping center. Also, for a retailer to qualify as freestanding it needs to have its own premises and a parking lot.
