I've searched online and cannot find "my size" though I did find

smaller footprint. Mine could take two plants in each "bay" plus
another 3 round the centre of the top tier. I limit to one plant per
"bay" and plus the extra 3 on top and find this works better in terms
of plant size and crop. This one won't take more than 1 plant in each
"bay" and possibly one more central plant in the top tier.

I'd guess that, like mine, you could stack two sets on top of each
other if space is a problem, though that makes the stack difficult to
turn (which you need to do to even out the exposure to the hour of
sunlight we get each week).

I bought a few sets of those some years ago, at a garden show. They're
currently being used for kitchen herbs. I like them.
