ABSTRACT:
A container (10) comprises a body having a base (12), two pairs of opposed side walls (14,16) extending upwardly from the base (12) to define a corner (15a,15b,15c,15d) between adjacent side walls (14,16). Four support members, (32a,32b,32c,32d) are provided, each support member being disposed at a respective corner. The support members are selectively movable between a first position in which a further container can be nested inside the body, and a second position in which the support members can support the further container above the base. A first pair of said support members (32a,32b) is connected together by a first connecting member (34) provided therebetween, and a second pair of said support members (32c,32d) is connected together by a second connecting member (36) provided therebetween.
