Each of the display members includes a central hub portion mounted for rotation relative to the axial mast and a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart arms projecting radially outward from the central hub portion to define an outer diameter of each display member circumscribing the spaced apart arms. Each display member has the same outer diameter with respect to the axial mast and each arm has an upstanding post extending therefrom for supporting a plurality of nested lamp shades in a manner suitable for display.
