The ends of the wires of each arm clasp about those of the other arm and slide up and down upon each other to collapse and open. The arms are suspended from a small hook at ends of the arms, and therefore stretches out flat when collapsed, or balances the arms nicely from their length when extended fully. Long, rectangular suede case is stitched around three sides, and has pink twisted cord double drawstring to close.
