Product description
The submitted sample is identified as a three tier storage swirl organizer, SKU# 10049850. It is made of acrylic plastic material. The item consists of three round trays, each measuring approximately 3¼” in diameter. Each tray has a cone shaped protrusion on the top surface and an aperture on the bottom surface. The cone on the top surface of one tray fits into the aperture on the bottom surface of the next tray, so that the three trays can be stacked, one over the other, to form three tiers that measure approximately 6” in total height. Although the top of each of the two lower trays is covered by the bottom of the one above it when assembled, access can be gained to each tray by swiveling either or both of the two higher trays to one side or the other, around the cone protrusion of the next lower tray. The trays are designed to store small items.
