A modular portable stand that can be quickly and easily assembles and disassembles by one person without using any tools or hardware. Unassembled, the stand includes two base members, two side members, and four legs. Interlocking the components at each corner provides a stiff and sturdy perimeter frame when assembled, that becomes more rigid when loaded with plant propagation trays, fish tanks, or other heavy items. |
