• wherein the frame comprises
• a center member comprising two linear elements, the linear elements of the center member being mutually pivotally attached such that the center member is X-shaped when the frame is in the deployed configuration,
• a pair of end members, each end member of the pair of end members comprising two linear elements, the linear elements being mutually pivotally attached such that the end member is X-shaped when the frame is in the deployed configuration, and
• a set of side members, each side member of the set of side members comprising two linear elements, the linear elements being mutually pivotally attached such that the side member is X-shaped when the frame is in the deployed configuration, each side member of the set of side members being hingedly attached to and extending between a respective opposed side of the center member and a respective opposing side of a respective end member of the pair of end members;
• a first fastener attached to one of the linear elements comprising a respective one of the end members of the pair of end members;
• a second fastener attached to the other of the linear elements comprising the respective one of the end members of the pair of end members, the second fastener being complementary to the first fastener, such that the second fastener is positioned for selectively engaging the first fastener with the frame in the deployed configuration for removably securing the frame in the deployed configuration;
• wherein the second fastener comprises a pin, the pin being spring loaded;
• and
• wherein the first fastener comprises a sleeve slidably attached to the one of linear elements, such that the pin is positioned for insertion into a hole positioned in the sleeve for removably securing the frame in the deployed configuration.
