Abstract: A collapsible and adjustable stand for supporting needlework and the like includes base members, vertical leg members secured to the base members, and a support member pivotally secured to the upper end of the vertical leg members. The support member is pivotable into a plurality of angular positions relative to the vertical leg members and is retained in pivotally adjusted position by angular adjustment means. The stand includes bracing means to increase the stability of the structure. The support member includes two spaced end elements which define the angularly adjustable plane thereof and may include one or more elongated bar members extending between the ends thereof. A multiplicity of upwardly projecting pins on alternate forms of the support member serve either to define a recess for seating a needlepoint frame and to retain lengths of wool or the like for use therewith, or to provide means for seating thereon the canvas of a rug being worked upon.
