- a base having an upper surface;
- a first side pivotally attached to a first edge of the base by a first set of hinges, the first side including a rigid frame and a spanning material;
- a second side pivotally attached to a second edge of the base by a second set of hinges, the second edge opposite the first edge, the second side including a rigid frame and a spanning material;
- a front side including
- a flexible spanning material pivotally attached on a first end to the rigid framing of the first side, and
- a first support attached to a second end of the spanning material, the second end opposite the first end, a first tip of the first support configured to be insertable into a first hole in the base to close the front side, wherein the first hole is formed in the base adjacent to one of the second set of hinges of the second side such that the first support can be inserted into the first hole to close the front side;
- and
- a back side including
- a spanning material attached on a first end to the rigid framing of the first side, and
- a second support attached to a second end of the spanning material, the second end opposite the first end, a first tip of the second support configured to be insertable into a second hole in the base to close the back side, wherein the second hole is formed in the base adjacent to the other of the second set of hinges of the second side such that the second support can be inserted into the second hole to close the second side,
