A housewares buyer has seen ten thousand products. The booth has to make yours the one they pick up.
Fixed-price exhibits for The Inspired Home Show — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so the booth that meets retail buyers from around the world in Chicago has already stood up once, powered and checked, on our floor.
Filters the booths below — every one shows its Chicago price.
This show exists for top-to-top meetings between housewares suppliers and the retailers who decide what reaches the shelf. Buyers arrive with appointments, a list of categories and very little time, and they judge a line by how it looks merchandised — because that is how their customers will meet it. The work below is what we build for companies whose product sells in the hand: structures that present a line the way a great store would, with a proper table to write the order at, carried by one team from first rendering to dismantle.

Housewares is sold on shelf presence, so the strongest booths on this floor are merchandised environments rather than exhibits: product at hand height, lit like retail, grouped the way a planogram would group it, with live demonstration where the product earns it. The show floor is organised by category across McCormick Place’s halls, which puts you beside your direct competitors and makes that presentation the deciding difference.
The show groups its core categories together and gives global sourcing its own hall, so buyers work the floor category by category with your competitors a few steps away. McCormick Place is also one of the most tightly run buildings in the country for labour and freight. We design to your hall and position, and we plan the labour call and dock schedule rather than leaving them to show week.
Cookware, small appliances and cleaning products sell best running — which means dedicated circuits, often water and drainage, ventilation, and the fire marshal’s approval for any cooking. Those services are ordered client-direct from the venue and must be planned into the structure, not added beside it. We build the demo counter around the utilities and file the orders and approvals in advance.
A March show puts the advance-order cutoff in mid-January, with the holiday break inside the approval period and sample shipments often leaving overseas factories ahead of Lunar New Year shutdowns. Freight into Chicago in late winter adds weather risk. We ship with margin and merchandise the booth with your samples on our floor first, so gaps are found in February, not on opening morning.
Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show, the venue or the show’s general contractor — no exhibit house can absorb them and none should claim to. What we do is calculate them for your exact booth before you commit, and file every order at advance rather than floor rates.
Trade show invoices have a habit of growing between quote and show: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged. Our model is the opposite — the number you approve is the number you pay, contractually. Design revisions are unlimited until you approve. The quote and the final invoice are the same document.
Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.
Your booth stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual build — not a render.
Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.
COI, EAC, electrical, network, rigging, freight windows — filed at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. Nothing lands on your desk three days before it’s due.
We quote higher and cost less. That’s the whole argument, and it’s why every booth below is published with its price rather than hidden behind a “request a quote” form.
Every booth below is priced for Chicago and available as a custom build for your brand — rented, not bought. Use the finder at the top of the page to narrow by size and budget.

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For a March show that puts the binding constraint in mid-January, with the holiday break and the factory calendar both sitting inside your approval period.
Put these to every exhibit house you’re comparing — including us. They separate the vendors that stand behind a number from the ones whose estimate is an opening position. Our answers are printed here so you can hold us to them.
“They never just build the booth and disappear — I always know I have someone on call and ready to jump in when the unexpected inevitably happens. That level of responsiveness makes a huge difference in high-pressure event environments.”
“I’ve worked with Pure Exhibits for almost a year now, and have had such a great experience! They are our go-to for trade shows, and create memorable booths that represent our brand well. The team is incredibly responsive and reliable.”
