Yes, As Radha mata ji has told there is availablity in amazon this chowki, you can purchase it also. it is decorated to suit as platform for placing Deities nicely,
You can use two different sizes one bigger one and one smaller one to place them like steps in the mandir or altar.
Let me provide you the link.

This is a wonderful addition to the altar to create tiers. In case you have immediate requirement then go by what I have suggested. Otherwise this is not too much expensive this chowki set max. costs around 25-30 dollars.
Try it out.

Hare Krsna Mataji,
PAMHO.
YOU can keep the deities on one level, the photos (of Pancha Tattva, Jagannath Baldev Subhadra, Radha Krsna) as well.
We create level by placing deities on raised platform - we call it chowki or paata - it is a decorated small stand. You could order online as well.

Hare Krishna Abigail mata ji,
How r u doing? Happy Janmashtami !!!
about the single level altar.. the same way as we create space in our kitchen cabinets by adding a extra rack like this one.

you can create two tiers by this method. if you take the fridge spacers and reverse, then it would be more stable to keep the deities on by covering it nicely with a beautiful cloth ( with a nice cloth with sequine border ) and cover it up. you can even make another tier if you try to get a small space saver too ( which we use in kitchen cabinets).
Try and let me know how it worked.
Hare Krishna
