Abstract
An adjustable height pedestal is formed of one, two, or more identical or variant height pleated upright members. The pleated upright members are interconnected by two or more connector rings at either end of each pleated upright member. When two or more pleated upright members are used to form one display pedestal, one connector ring interconnects the area between two of said pleated upright members. A disc rests upon four lid/base supports inside the topmost connector ring, and is covered by a lid which interconnects with said connector ring. A second identical disc rests on the four lid/base supports inside the bottom-most connector ring. Display pedestals over 12" in height are generally stabilized with a heavy block which is readily accessible and which sits on top of the disc in the bottom of the display. In one embodiment the lid and disc are not used leaving an open display pedestal for cylindrical merchandise.
