A free tray adapted to be mounted on a pair of opposed right and left guide rails has projections at appropriate positions on the right and left side ends of the bottom thereof. The projections are engageable with the cut portions of the right and left guide rails. Individual trays are placed in parallel on the free tray. Each individual tray has a high side wall on one longitudinally extending side thereof and a low guide wall on the other longitudinally extending side. Each individual tray has a mount provided in a front end portion thereof and a slider slidable along a longitudinal slot rail provided in the center of the bottom thereof. A work-table plate is fitted in table guides provided on the lower side of a base plate to which the bottom portions of the frame rods of the frame unit are secured.
