The present invention relates to a collapsible reel for shipping and storage of flexible cables, pipes, and other elongate articles, the reel comprising a pair of side wall members having a plurality of spokes extending radially outwardly from a center connector, and a transverse generally cylindrical structure formed between the side wall members using a plurality of transverse bars mounted between adjacent pairs of spokes. The diameter of the transverse generally cylindrical structure is adjustable by mounting the transverse bars to the spokes at a set radial distance from the center. Optionally, a plurality of receptacles may be adjustably mounted onto the spokes to receive the ends of the transverse bars. Optionally, dividers may be mounted onto the transverse bars to facilitate the winding of more than one type of cable or pipe onto the same reel.
