• a base having an upper surface, a pair of opposing ends, and a pair of opposing sides;
• a pair of opposing side panels, each side panel attachable to a respective base side, each side panel including an upper portion and a lower portion, an inner face, an outer face, and first and second side edges;
• a pair of opposing end panels, each end panel attachable to a respective base end, each end panel including an upper portion and a lower portion, an inner face, an outer face, and first and second side edges;
• the end panels and side panels capable of movement between an assembled position generally perpendicular to the base and a folded position over the upper surface of the base;
• at least one of the end panels including a first plurality of interlocking members along its first side edge;
• at least one of the side panels including a second plurality of interlocking members along its first side edge for engaging the first plurality of interlocking members;
• and
• the interlocking members in the lower portions of the side and end panels engaging as the side and end panels are moved to the assembled position as to create a zippering effect to facilitate alignment of the interlocking members.
