The stand includes a base member, an arm affixed in a pibotally manner to the base member and a leg which includes a bracket that slides over the base member and the arm to a position to hold the arm in a horizontal position when in use. When not in use, the leg slides back against the base member and the arm pivots downward so that both rest in a side by side vertical position against the wall. The base member may be include a U shaped bracket and the arm is affixed using a wire bracket interlooped with to the U shape bracket. A leg bracket is attached to the leg permitting it to slide over the base bracket, the arm bracket and the arm from the position resting on the U shaped bracket. The U shape base bracket mechanism may include retaining bends therein for retaining the leg bracket when in the nonuse position.
