Abstract
A portable storage apparatus that suspends from a stationary object and neatly collapses into a compact form for easy storage and transport, consisting of fabric backing with a tapered top end housing four rigid shelves evenly spaced in front with four support rods attached to shelves providing rigid support and secure attachment to the fabric backing along with locking mechanisms under each shelf to maintain a horizontal angle and enhance shelf stability. A continuous cord passes through holes on one side of rigid shelves, through a back support bar, through grommets, forming a loop with hook, and back down the other side. The suspension allows for adjustable hanging height along with additional stability and support. Once unfolded in a hanging position, two support rods slide into vertical support rod access channels sewn into fabric backing along either side in the back.
