The suitcase stand folds for storage. It is comprised of four patterned legs held together with rails and top slats. The legs fold together when not in use. The cross pieces are heavy fabric straps that allow the legs to spread apart to make a light but sturdy stand on which to set a suitcase or other object. This stand is an excellent addition to the guest bedroom. Watch episode #1408 of the TV program the Router Workshop for details on the suitcase stand.
