A pedestal is a piece of furniture that can be used to display other items. Pedestals are created from wood, stone, glass, or metal at a carpenter's workshop, craftsdwarf's workshop, glass furnace, or forge, respectively; while wood, stone, and glass only require 1 material to craft, metal requires 2 bars. At a forge, they are listed under "Other Objects" rather than "Furniture", and unlike most other furniture items, a metal pedestal is made using metalcrafting, not blacksmithing. Pedestals are stockpiled as furniture, under "Other Large Tools".
In the building menu, pedestals are listed in display Furniture. Once built, a pedestal can be examined with q and the display item(s) can be selected with d. The selection menu displays a list of all categories of items that can be displayed on the pedestal. Highlighting one of the categories lists the items of that type that are available, and highlighting and item shows its description and location at the bottom of the screen. Pressing Enter designates an item to be put on the pedestal, which will be done by item haulers. A museum can be created from a built pedestal using qr.
Pedestals can be used to display just about any item, but dwarves will only get happy thoughts from seeing furniture displayed on a pedestal, whereas they will receive happy thoughts from viewing an item in a display case. The value of an item on a pedestal contributes to the wealth of a guildhall, but not the quality of a room.
In adventurer mode, pedestals can be found in many generated sites, sometimes alongside display cases. It is possible to place an item on a pedestal by standing next to (or on) it and putting the item onto the pedestal. Likewise, it is possible to remove an item from a pedestal by standing on the same tile as it and getting it. These actions will be seen by NPCs as, respectively placing or taking the item from the site, though they only care if the item is an artifact.
