Abstract: A supporting stand for supporting an item is provided. The stand includes a base for defining a substantially planar region of the stand; a lower support for supporting the item at a first distance from the base; and an upper support for supporting the item at a second, greater distance from the base. The lower and upper supports may be substantially parallel to the base, and vertically non-overlapping. The stand may include a riser wall extending between the lower and upper supports, a front wall and opposing rear wall, and first and second sidewalls extending between the front and rear walls. The stand may be collapsible. The stand may include one or more of folds, flaps, fasteners, slots, corrugating medium, and an interior attachment wall for configuring the stand into an operating configuration. The stand may be stackable.
