These walls of each box define an internal space for accommodating products. The end wall of each box closes a first end of the box. Each box has a second end opposite the first end. The boxes are fixedly stacked one on top of another to form a stair structure wherein each box is secured at its botttom wall near the first end thereof to the top wall of the lower adjacent box near the second end of the lower adjacent box. Each box has at least one opening for permitting access to its internal space. The base structure is separably engaged with one or more of the boxes, and supports the stair structure in a tilted manner such that the first end of each box is lower than the second end.
