7. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein a side end of the first side panel defines a matching slope angled with respect to an inner surface and an outer surface of the first side panel.

8. The subpanel of claim 7 , wherein the connection finger protrudes from the matching slope.

9. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein the subpanel is formed of blow-molded plastic.

10. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein the thickness of the second side panel is equal to a distance measured from the matching slope to a portion of the clasp portion of the connection finger that is closest to the matching slope.

11. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein the clasp portion of the connection finger is angled 90 degrees with respect to the clearance portion.

12. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the connection finger taken along a plane perpendicular to the first side end of the first side panel is L-shaped.

13. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein a height of the clasp portion of the connection finger is equal to a height of the clearance portion of the connection finger, the height of the clasp portion of the connection finger and the height of the clearance portion of the connection finger measured in a direction parallel to the first side end of the first side panel.

14. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein a height of the clearance portion of the connection recess is equal to or greater than a height of the lock portion of the connection recess, the height of the clearance portion of the connection recess and the height of the lock portion of the connection recess measured in a direction parallel to the side end of the second side panel.

15. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein the connection finger is a first connection finger and the connection recess is a first connection recess, the subpanel further comprising a second connection finger connected to the first side end of the first side panel and a second connection recess defined in the first side end of the second side panel.

16. The subpanel of claim 1 , wherein the first connection finger and the second connection finger are aligned along and proximate to the first side end of the first side panel and the first connection recess and the second connection recess are aligned along and proximate to the side end of the second side panel.

17. A subpanel for a bag stand, the subpanel comprising:

a first side panel comprising a top end, a bottom end, two side ends, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a thickness defined from the inner surface to the outer surface, the first side panel further comprising a connection finger, the connection finger connected to a first side end of the two side ends of the first side panel, the connection finger comprising a clearance portion and a clasp portion;
