At least one of the side surfaces is tiered. The tiered side surface includes an inner portion and an outer portion that are substantially parallel to each other. The inner portion is substantially perpendicular and is adjacent to the base surface. The outer portion is offset from the inner portion and is positioned further away from the second side surface compared to the inner portion. A first panel is positioned within the notch and faces at least the base surface and the inner portion of the tiered surface. A second panel may be positioned within the notch.
