Claim 4:
5. A support apparatus for an article, comprising:
a first channel comprising two long sides and a lower edge, each long side comprising a side tab channel;
a first panel disposed in the first channel, the first panel comprising:
a first magnet oriented in a first direction
two side edges, each side edge comprising an outwardly extending side tabs adapted to slide in the corresponding side tab channel;

a second panel disposed in the first channel, the second panel comprising:
a second magnet oriented in a first direction;
a second panel top edge is hingedly attached to a first panel lower edge;

a third panel comprising a third panel bottom edge that is attached to a lower edge of the first channel and a third panel top edge that is hingedly attached to a second panel lower edge
a shuttle disposed in a second channel located beneath the first channel, such that a portion of the shuttle is coincident with a bottom of the first channel, the shuttle comprising:
a third magnet oriented in a first direction;
a fourth magnet oriented in a second direction;

wherein movement of the shuttle from a first position such that the third magnet is aligned with and directly beneath the second magnet, to a second position characterized by the fourth magnet being aligned with and directly beneath the second magnet generates a magnetically repulsive force causing the first panel to slide downwardly in the first channel, thereby bringing the first magnet into alignment with the third magnet when the shuttle is returned to the first position, wherein proximity between the first magnet and the third magnet generates a magnetically attractive force holding the first magnet and the third magnet in alignment.
