         11 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising a cornice member engaged with one of the panel support members, the first side support, the second side support, the upper transverse member, and the lower transverse member.  
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the cornice member includes an end portion pivotable between a first angle and a second angle.  
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the panel support member includes a plurality of apertures and the cornice member includes an attachment portion having a hook, the hook engaged with one of the plurality of apertures to connect the cornice member to the panel support member.  
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a panel connected to one of the panel support members and the cornice member, the panel having a plurality of apertures therein.  
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the first and second lateral members each define a plurality of apertures and the transverse member further includes a first tab member engaged with one of the apertures of the first lateral member and a second tab member engaged with one of the apertures of the second lateral member.  
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the transverse member further includes a channel portion and the panel support member further includes a slot portion, the slot portion slidably engagable with the hook portion.  
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the lateral members further comprise an adjustment bar movable between a first position and a second position, and wherein the lateral member is a first length when the adjustment bar is in the first position and the lateral member is a second length when the adjustment bar is in the second position.  
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 10 , further comprising a plurality of panel support members engaged with the transverse member, the panel support members positionable between the first side support and the second side support.
