a first frame component comprising a first side, a second side, a third side, and a fourth side that define a first aperture;
a first set of stretch members that is coupled to the first side and the second side, and partially covers the first aperture;
a second set of stretch members that is coupled to the third side and the fourth side, partially covers the first aperture, and is substantially perpendicular to the first set of stretch members;
a second frame component comprising a fifth side, a sixth side, a seventh side, and an eighth side that define a second aperture;
a third set of stretch members that is coupled to the fifth side and the sixth side, and partially covers the second aperture;
a fourth set of stretch members that is coupled to the seventh side and the eighth side, partially covers the second aperture, and is substantially perpendicular to the third set of stretch members; and
a joint component coupled to the first frame component and the second frame component,
wherein the joint component allows rotation of at least one of first frame component or the second frame component to situate an item between the first set of stretch members, the second set of stretch members, the third set of stretch members, and the fourth set of stretch members when the first frame component and the second frame component abut such that each stretch member of the first set of stretch members has a corresponding, substantially aligned stretch member of the third set of stretch members and each stretch member of the second set of stretch members has a corresponding, substantially aligned stretch member of the fourth set of stretch members.
