A support assembly for supporting a plurality of inclined plates (22) arranged in an array around a central axis includes a top support bracket (25) for supporting the upper edges (40) of the plates (22) and a plurality of base brackets (26) for supporting the lower edges (62) of the respective plates (22). The top support bracket (25) has a central axis aligned with the central axis of the array, and a plurality of side edges (28). Each side edge (28) has a downwardly inclined rim (32) at a predetermined angle corresponding to the desired plate orientation and a downwardly facing groove (42) for receiving the upper edge (40) of the respective plate (22). Each base bracket (26) has a base (46) for securing against a substantially flat support surface (16), a snap lock arm (52, 54) extending upwardly from the base (46) towards a respective side edge (28) of the top bracket (25) at a predetermined angle equal to the rim angle for snap engagement in an opening (60) spaced from the lower edge of the respective plate (22), and a groove (55) at the lower end of the snap lock arm (52, 54) for receiving the lower edge (62) of the respective inclined plate (22).
