Lighthouse stacking canisters

Stack four desk canisters into a lighthouse tower

Four round canisters that stack into a lighthouse, each one narrower than the one below. Lift off the lantern for erasers and pins, the next tier for clips, and so on down to pens in the base. Stacked, they take up the floor space of one cup; apart, they make a row of four.
