1. A retail display glide apparatus for holding a plurality of items, comprising:
- a base including a front end, a back end, a left end, a right end, an upper surface for supporting the items, a bottom surface defining an axis and at least one slot extending from the upper surface towards the bottom surface;
a plurality of wall members, at least one of the plurality of wall members removably installable on the base and extending front-to-back to cooperate with the base to define a plurality of channels, each channel dimensioned for accommodating an associated front-to-back column of the items and each wall member including a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge, a rear edge and at least one wall member including at least one projection depending from the bottom edge, the at least one projection having a forward-directed finger extending therefrom, wherein the wall members are installable on the base by inserting the projection downward into the slot in the base and shifting the wall member forward with respect to the base; and
a front member selectively installable to at least one wall member which bounds forward extremities of the channels.

Abstract
A glide (20) includes a base (22), a front member, and a number of walls (26) extending front-to-back. Both the base and the front member are advantageously formed as a number of pieces secured side-by-side to provide expandability. The front member may be secured to the walls via dovetail interaction and different front members may be provided for different wall spacings.
