1. A display hutch comprising: a rear wall extending vertically from a base to a top edge and horizontally from one rear vertical edge to another rear vertical edge;two side walls, each side wall extending from a respective one of the rear vertical edges forward to a respective front vertical edge;a plurality of front panels, each front panel extending laterally from and hingedly attached to each side wall along the front vertical edges;the rear wall, the side walls and the front panels defining a hutch body having an interior;a rear support substantially disposed within the interior; anda plurality of shelves, each shelf comprising a front shelf panel and a rear shelf panel adhered to the front shelf panel, each front shelf panel hingedly attached to a respective one of the front panels along a shelf front fold line, each shelf extending laterally between one of the two side walls and another one of the two side walls but not directly connected to either side wall, each rear shelf panel foldably connected to a rear attachment panel along a rear fold line, each rear attachment panel attached to the rear support; whereinmoving the rear support causes the shelves to move in unison between a first position in which each shelf is in a vertical orientation and a second position in which each shelf is in a horizontal orientation suitable for bearing a load, wherein:the rear wall, the side walls, the front panels and the front shelf panels are formed from a first blank;the rear shelf panels and the rear attachment panels are formed from a second blank; andthe rear support is formed from a third blank. 2. The hutch of claim 1 wherein: the second blank further comprises middle panels extending laterally between and attached to a pair of middle vertical panels; andeach rear shelf panel is hingedly attached to a respective one of the middle panels along a middle fold line extending laterally between the pair of middle vertical panels. 3. The hutch of claim 1 wherein: the rear support is adjacent the rear wall when the shelves are in the second position. 4. A method of constructing a hutch comprising the steps of: providing a first blank, a second blank and a third blank; the first blank comprising a rear wall, first and second side walls, front panels, front shelf panels and a glue panel, the rear wall extending from a bottom edge to a top edge and horizontally from a first rear vertical edge to an opposite second rear vertical edge, the rear wall foldably connected to the first side wall along the first rear vertical edge, the first side wall foldably connected to the front panels along a first front vertical edge, the second side wall foldably connected to the front panels along a second front vertical edge and to the glue panel along a glue panel fold line, each front shelf panel foldably connected to a respective one of the front panels along a shelf front edge, each front shelf panel having a free rear edge;the second blank comprising rear shelf panels, rear attachment panels, middle panels and two middle vertical panels, the middle panels extending laterally between and attached to the two middle vertical panels, each rear shelf panel hingedly attached to a respective one of the middle panels along a middle fold line extending laterally between the two middle vertical panels and to a rear attachment panel along a rear fold line; andthe third blank extends from a bottom edge to a top edge and from one side edge to an opposite side edge;adhering each of the front shelf panels to a respective one of the rear shelf panels;adhering the attachment panels to the third blank;folding the second side wall inward along the second front vertical edge; andfolding the rear wall inwardly along the first rear vertical edge and adhering the rear wall to the glue panel. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein: each rear free edge defines a first locating notch;each rear attachment panel has a free top edge that defines a second locating notch;each rear shelf panel defines a locating hole;the third blank top edge defines a third locating notch and the third blank defines second locating holes spaced apart in the vertical dimension; andduring the step of adhering the front shelf panels to the rear shelf panels, the first blank and the second blank are aligned so that the locating holes align with the first locating notches. 6. The method of claim 5 wherein: during the step of adhering the attachment panels to the third blank, the rear attachment panels and the third blank are aligned so that the third locating notch and each of the second locating holes in the third blank align with a respective one of the second locating notches. 7. A method of assembling a hutch comprising the steps of: squaring up the hutch of claim 4 so that the side walls are parallel with each other and the front panels are parallel with the rear wall;positioning the hutch so that the hutch is upright; andpushing on the rear support until each shelf is in a horizontal orientation. 8. The method of claim 7 wherein: the first blank further comprises bottom panels configured to interlock with each other; andthe method comprises the additional step of interlocking the bottom panels. 9. A display hutch comprising: a rear wall extending vertically from a base to a top edge and horizontally from a first rear vertical edge to a second rear vertical edge;two side walls, each side wall extending from a respective one of the rear vertical edges forward to a respective front vertical edge;a plurality of front panels, each front panel extending laterally from and hingedly attached to each side wall along the front vertical edges;the rear wall, the side walls and the front panels defining a hutch body having an interior;a rear support substantially disposed within the interior; anda plurality of shelves, each shelf comprising a front shelf panel and a rear shelf panel adhered to the front shelf panel, each front shelf panel hingedly attached to a respective one of the front panels along a shelf front fold line, each rear shelf panel foldably connected to a rear attachment panel along a rear fold line, each rear attachment panel attached to the rear support, wherein:the rear wall, the side walls, the front panels and the front shelf panels are formed from a first blank;the rear shelf panels and the rear attachment panels are formed from a second blank; andthe rear support is formed from a third blank. 10. The hutch of claim 9 wherein: moving the rear support causes the shelves to rotate in unison, each about a respective shelf front fold line, between a first position in which each shelf is in a vertical orientation and a second position in which each shelf is in a horizontal orientation. 11. The hutch of claim 9 wherein: the second blank further comprises middle panels extending laterally between and attached to a pair of middle vertical panels; andeach rear shelf panel is hingedly attached to a respective one of the middle panels along a middle fold line extending laterally between the middle vertical panels. 12. The hutch of claim 11 wherein: the rear support is adjacent the rear wall when the shelves are in the second position.
