- a first leg member comprising:
- a first base portion having a first free end having a first blind passage formed therein, the first free end extending along a first base axis and a connected end;
- and
- a first support portion extending upwardly from the connected end of the first base portion along a first support axis to a top end;
- a second leg member comprising:
- a second base portion having a second free end having a second blind passage formed therein, the second free end extending along a second base axis and a connected end;
- and
- a second support portion extending upwardly from the connected end of the second base portion along a second support axis to a top end;
- a base platform connected to the free end of the first base portion and to the free end of the second base portion,
- a lower spacer block at least partially inserted into each of the first base portion 122 and the second base portion 124;
- and
- a top platform connected to the top end of the first support portion and to the top end of the second support portion,
- wherein the base platform has an “X-shaped” cutout, wherein the free end of the first base portion is inserted into a first leg of the “X” and wherein the free end of the second base potion is inserted into a remaining leg of the “X”.
A freestanding support comprising:
- a first support member having a first top end and a first base end, the first top end having a first cutout and a first blind passage formed therein;
- a second support member having a second top end and a second base end, the second top end having a second cutout and a second blind passage formed therein, wherein the first top end and the second top end are interlocked with each other via the first and second cutouts and wherein the first base end and the second base end are interlocked with each other;
- a base platform releasably connected to the first base end and the second base end;
- a top platform releasably connected to the first top end and the second top end, the top platform having a “Y-shaped” cutout, wherein the top end of the first support portion is inserted into a first arm of the “Y” and wherein the top end of the second support potion is inserted into a remaining arm of the “Y”, and
- an upper spacer block inserted into the blind passage in each of the first support portion and the second support portion.
