Abstract

An enclosed shelving having a top shelf supported above a bottom shelf with each of the shelves including a peripheral lip, the enclosure having an open wire construction including side and rear panels provided with retaining fingers extending at the upper and lower ends thereof to engage the peripheral lip of the shelves, thereby retaining the panels in place. The fingers are offset with respect to the panels, with the extent of offset of the fingers alternating between a greater and lesser degree of offset to thereby straddle the peripheral shelf lip and retain the panels in place. A pair of front door panels are hinged to the side panels and are provided with a latching mechanism whereby the enclosed shelving can be used for security purposes.
