Claim:
A container comprising: a base configured to provide vertical support to objects; a pair of side walls projecting above the base; a pair of opposing walls projecting above the base, each of the opposing walls presenting an exterior surface and having two receptacles defined within the exterior surface, each of the opposing walls including an upper edge, each of said opposing walls having two grooves and two pairs of notches provided in the upper edge; and two support members, each support member having two inwardly-turned ends which pivot within corresponding receptacles of the opposing walls so that each support member spans across the opposing walls, said support members extending beyond the exterior surfaces of the opposing walls, and each of the two inwardly-turned ends being pivotally mounted within the receptacles to cause the corresponding support member to be adjustable between outer, middle, and inner positions, the grooves of the opposing walls being disposed at outer portions of the upper edges thereof to support the support members in the outer position at a first height, a first pair of notches of the opposing walls being disposed respectively inward of said grooves to support the support members in the middle position at a second height, a second pair of notches of the opposing walls being disposed respectively inward of said first pair of notches to support the support members in the inner position at a third height lower than the first height, each notch of said first pair of notches and said second pair of notches having a notch depth measured perpendicular to the upper edge of the corresponding opposing wall adjacent the corresponding notch, the notch depth of each of said second pair of notches being greater than the notch depth of each of said first pair of notches, each opposing wall upper edge extending substantially vertically upward between the second pair of notches to a height equal to the topmost surfaces of the second pair of notches.
