A top hardware bar includes a body, a first bracket, and a second bracket. The body is elongate and defines a first end, a second, opposite end, a channel, and a plurality of holes disposed lengthwise along the body. The first bracket is secured to the first end of the body and is releasably secured to a first upright. The second bracket is adjustably secured within the channel at the second end of the body and is releasably secured to a second upright. A backer piece is secured to the body of the top hardware bar along a top portion of the backer piece such that the backer piece hangs from the top hardware bar. A product fixture is then placed in front of the backer piece to support products, with the ends of the product fixture being attached to the first and second uprights, respectively.

1. A method of displaying comprising: securing a first standard in a substantially upright position;securing a second standard in a substantially upright position;releasably attaching a top bar to a top region of a backer material, the backer material being in a sheet format, the top bar including a first bracket and a second bracket at opposite ends of the top bar, and the top bar and the top region of the backer material having corresponding holes for releasably attaching the backer material to the top bar;adjusting an overall length of the top bar to correspond to a distance between a first attachment site defined by the first standard and a second attachment site defined by the second standard;releasably securing the top bar to the first and second attachment sites to hang the backer material in a substantially upright position from the first and second standards, the backer material extending between the first and second uprights without extending beyond a width between the first and second attachment sites, wherein the second bracket includes a slide portion and a tooth portion arranged substantially perpendicular to the slide portion, the slide portion including a slot for receiving a pin to limit adjustment of the slide portion relative to a body of the top bar; anddefining with the tooth portion an arcuate outer edge and a stepped inner edge that is releasably securable to the second attachment site of the second standard. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising: securing each of the first and second standards to a wall; andmaintaining a plurality of products in front of the wall and in front of the backer material with the first and second standards. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein releasably securing the top bar to the first and second attachment sites of the first and second standards includes pivoting the tooth portion of the second bracket into a hole in the second standard at the second attachment site. 4. The method of claim 1, performed in a retail environment. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein adjusting an overall length of the top bar includes telescoping the slide portion of the second bracket into the body of the top bar. 6. The method of claim 1, further comprising telescopically receiving the slide portion of the second bracket in the body of the top bar. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising securing a bottom bar to a bottom region of the backer material to tension the backer material. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the body of the top bar includes a top lip and a bottom lip, the method further comprising: folding the top and bottom lips backward to define a channel, andadjustably securing the second bracket to the body of the top hardware bar by inserting a pin into the slot of the slide portion. 9. The method of claim 1, further comprising non-adjustably securing the first bracket of the top bar to the body of the top bar. 10. The method of claim 1, further comprising securing a bottom bar to a bottom portion of the backer material for applying tension to the backer material. 11. The method of claim 1, further comprising hanging a plurality of products in front of the backer material. 12. A method of assembling a display system comprising: securing a first upright in a substantially vertical orientation, the first upright being substantially elongate and having a first plurality of slots, the first plurality of slots being aligned in a column on one side of the first upright;securing a second upright in an adjacent position to the first upright and in a substantially vertical orientation, the second upright being substantially elongate and having a second plurality of slots, the second plurality of slots being aligned in a column on one side of the second upright;attaching a top hardware bar including: a body that is elongate and defines a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a front face, a channel, and a plurality of holes disposed lengthwise along the body,a first bracket secured to the first end of the body and releasably securable in the first plurality of slots of the first upright, anda second bracket adjustably secured within the channel at the second end of the body and releasably securable in the second plurality of slots of the second upright;securing a backer piece directly to the body front face of the top hardware bar along a top portion of the backer piece such that the backer piece hangs from the top hardware bar and extends between the first and second uprights without overlapping the first and second plurality of slots; andsecuring at least one product fixture between the first and second uprights in corresponding ones of the slots of the first and second uprights, wherein the product fixture is disposed on a side of the backer piece opposite from the hardware bar and supports a product for display,wherein the body of the top hardware bar includes a top lip and a bottom lip, the method comprising folding the top and bottom lips backward from the front face to define the channel, andwherein the second bracket includes an insert arm and a tab arranged substantially perpendicular to the insert arm, the method comprising providing the insert arm with a slot for receiving a pin to adjustably secure the second bracket to the body of the top hardware bar, and defining with the tab an arcuate outer edge and a stepped inner edge that is releasably securable within one of the plurality of slots of the second upright. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising non-adjustably securing the first bracket of the top hardware bar to the body of the top hardware bar. 14. The method of claim 12, further comprising securing a bottom hardware bar to the bottom portion of the backer piece for applying tension to the backer piece. 15. The method of claim 12, further comprising hanging a plurality of the products on the product fixture and in front of the backer piece. 16. The method of claim 12, further comprising: securing each of the first and second uprights to a wall; andmaintaining a plurality of the products on the product fixture and in front of the wall and in front of the backer material with the first and second uprights.
