Edge portions (40) ofthe floor surface (16) cant downward from the center to the side panels (18,20), and a passageway (34) is positioned below each depression (30) and extends through the floor surface (16). An inverted glass positioned upon the edge surface portion (40) tilts into one of the depressions (30) where it is supporied by the depression concave side walls (32).
