ABSTRACT:
A portable display includes a central display panel and opposite side tubular hollow end panels or columns constructed from a single sheet of substantially resilient elongated material. Each column is formed by rolling a side edge portion rearward bringing a tubular polygonal reinforcing member carried by each side edge portion into magnetically attracted sectirement with another hollow member. Hubs are inserted into the interior of the side columns to lend rigidity thereto, and two such displays or display sections can be stacked one relative to the other to transform a table-top display to a floor display. In this stacked configuration magnetically attractable securing elements hold the lower edge portion of an upper display section intimately relative to an upper edge portion of a lower display section. The resilient nature of the elongated panel(s) allows a variation in central panel configuration from generally uni-planar to concave or convex absent at any time an abrupt juncture at the display side thereof which presents a virtually unbroken aesthetic appearance to the overall display.
