Abstract: A retail stand toy that provides for an attractive and sturdy structure, but which can be readily broken down into a folded up arrangement and stored or transported. The stand is generally intended to be a toy so that children can have a retail stand that they can decorate and play with, but which parents can readily collapse and store in a compact fashion when they move on to something else. The stand is sufficiently inexpensive to construct that if it becomes damaged, it can be thrown out or recycled, while still allowing for multiple uses if it is used with a reasonable degree of care.
