 A collapsible stand 1 suitable for books, paintings, sheet music or the like, a kit of parts to be assembled into the collapsible stand, and a method of assembly of the collapsible stand is presented. The collapsible stand comprises a backboard 2, a shelf element 6, a surface engaging formation for standing on a surface, and at least one bracket 4 which comprises at least one shelf element receiving formation and at least one backboard engaging formation; the backboard engages the backboard engaging formation and the shelf element engages the shelf element receiving formation such that the shelf element is demountably retained under compression between the backboard and the shelf receiving formation to thereby releasably lock the shelf element, the at least one bracket and the backboard in position. The collapsible stand is assembled without the need for a bonding agent such as an adhesive, or fasteners, such as screws, and the disassembled components may be stored or transported in a more compact form than those known in the art. |
