a storage container includes a base and a plurality of walls extending upwardly from the base . at least one of the walls includes a plurality of projections on its exterior at different heights . the interior of the wall includes a plurality of channels into which the projections of a like container would be slidably received when the empty containers are nested . a plurality of supports are pivotably connected to the container and can be selectably pivoted to block selected ones of the plurality of channels such that the projections are supported on the supports and do not enter the channels , thereby supporting the upper container at a selected height .
