Abstract
A shelf post coupler may include an upper insert end and a lower insert end, each dimensioned to be received within an insert slot defined by shelving post ends to be joined. Insert holes extend through the upper insert end and the lower insert end for receiving fasteners to secure the coupler to shelving post ends. The upper and lower insert ends may each have a first side and a second side that extends from a midline along different planes. A spacer including a protruding lip may be located between the upper insert end and the lower insert end. At least one of the upper insert end and the lower insert end may include a riser and a wing. The wing may extend a greater distance from the midline than the riser.
