A multi-level stacking container is disclosed. The container comprises: a base; a pair of opposed sidewalls extending from the base; and a pair of moveable support bars operatively coupled to and extending across the pair of opposed sidewalls, the pair of support bars being moveable between at least three positions such that the container is stackable in at least three positions with a second like container. In one aspect, the container comprises a base, a first pair of opposing sidewalls extending from the base, each of the sidewalls including a rim, an inner surface, an outer surface, the rim including first and second longitudinally-spaced apart pluralities of recesses formed therein, and first and second moveable support bars configured to extend across the pair of opposing sidewalls, each of the moveable support bars including an elongated rod configured to be received within any of the recesses of either of the first or second pluralities of recesses formed in the respective rims of each of the first pair of sidewalls, the rod including first and second inwardly-turned ends pivotally coupled to the respective outer surfaces of each of the sidewalls.
