1. A display support assembly, comprising:
a first rail having a first contact surface and a second contact surface, the first contact surface and the second contact surface forming a V-shaped profile;
a second rail having a V-shaped profile, the second rail being parallel to the first rail;
a slide having a body portion and a display support portion, the slide having a set of rollers in contact with the first rail and the second rail;
wherein the set of rollers comprises:
a first wheel having a movable axis of rotation relative to the body portion of the slide, the first wheel being biased, relative to the body portion of the slide, into contact with the first contact surface of the first rail; and
a second wheel having a fixed axis of rotation relative to the body portion of the slide, the second wheel being in contact with the second contact surface of the first rail; and
 wherein contact between the set of rollers and the first rail and the second rail constrains movement of the slide to a single principal plane of motion, the single principal plane of motion intersecting the first rail and the second rail.
