Other than the above-mentioned creation processes, their visual appearances and the fact that display cases are twice as large as pedestals (and thus, twice as heavy as a pedestal made out of the same material), pedestals and display furniture are completely identical, their behavior determined entirely by the [[DF2014:Tool token#TOOL_USE|DISPLAY_OBJECT]] tool use. | Other than the above-mentioned creation processes, their visual appearances and the fact that display cases are twice as large as pedestals (and thus, twice as heavy as a pedestal made out of the same material), pedestals and display furniture are completely identical, their behavior determined entirely by the [[DF2014:Tool token#TOOL_USE|DISPLAY_OBJECT]] tool use. | ||

Dwarves will admire both the display furniture and the item on display, giving them happy thoughts. A dwarf must stand in or pass through the actual tile containing the display furniture in order to admire it; they cannot do so from a distance. This unfortunately leaves your artifacts on display vulnerable to sticky-fingered [[Villain|villains]]. If the only objective is to increase the value of a location, however (for example, to instantly turn a meeting place into a grand guildhall), the object can be locked away, such as by vertical grates or bars. | Dwarves will admire both the display furniture and the item on display, giving them happy thoughts.
