Abstract
Abstract A furniture display cart is provided which allows vertical placement of furniture and display items to maximize warehouse or showroom capacity. The utilization of carts having vertical adjustable frames for three or more furniture items transforms a relatively small floor space into a much effectively larger space thus utilizing the area to its maximum potential. The cart is movable and can be nestled for storage purposes when not in use.
