Abstract
A shelving assembly includes a shelf bracket having a base and sidewalls extending upwardly from the base, wherein a cavity is defined between the base and the sidewalls. The sidewalls collectively form an upper edge, and the base includes at least one aperture. The shelving assembly further includes a fastener having a head and a shank extending therefrom with a distal end, and an anchor including a channel sized to receive the fastener, where the anchor is arranged to be received in the shelf bracket with the channel aligned with the at least one aperture. The anchor is capable of retaining the fastener in a preinstallation position with respect to the shelf bracket wherein the head is below the base and the distal end of the shank is disposed within the cavity beneath the upper edge.
