1. A garment rail assembly capable of being stacked on by a similar garment rail assembly, comprising:
a base unit comprising a longitudinally extending base member having two ends, a transverse member connected to each end of the base member, each transverse member having a first stacking member and a second stacking member extending upwardly from a top surface of each transverse member, the first stacking members each comprising a first post having a first height, the second stacking members each comprising a second post having a second height that is greater than the first height and (a) one of a socket and a post end attached to the corresponding second posts of the second stacking members, said one of the socket and the post end being adapted to mate with the other of the socket and post end disposed on an underside of the transverse member or (b) a stacking bracket attached to the corresponding second posts of the second stacking members, said stacking brackets each having a horizontal flange bottom and at least one vertical flange extending perpendicular from the horizontal flange bottom; a plurality of wheels extending below the base unit: a pair of support members, each support member pivotally connected to the base unit at opposite ends of the base unit; and a top rail having a pair of attachment sockets attached to opposite ends of the top rail, the attachment sockets each including a hollow bottom and a bracket at a top portion of the respective attachment sockets, the brackets of the attachment sockets each having a horizontal flange bottom and at least one vertical flange extending perpendicular from the horizontal flange bottom; wherein: in an assembled position, each support member is pivoted upwardly to a position that is perpendicular to said base unit and a top end of each support member is inserted within a corresponding hollow bottom of a respective attachment socket of said top rail so that the top rail is mounted to and extends between the top ends of each support member in order to hang garments from the top rail and the attachment sockets are disengaged from each of the first stacking members, in a collapsed position, said top rail and said attachment sockets are removed from the top ends of the pair of supports, the pair of supports are each pivoted downward to a position substantially parallel with the base member, and a top end of each first post of the corresponding first stacking members is inserted within a corresponding hollow bottom of a respective attachment socket of said top rail so that the top rail is mounted to and extends between the top ends of each first post of the first stacking members, and the horizontal flange bottoms of each attachment socket and each stacking bracket are all level at the same height in order to stack the similar garment rail assembly on top said garment rail assembly in a level manner by placing a bottom side of transverse members of the similar garment rail assembly on top of each horizontal flange of the corresponding attachment sockets and stacking brackets. |
