Abstract
A retainer includes a wedge-shaped element received in a recess of a shelf bracket. At the proximal end of the shelf bracket the recess includes an edge extending at an angle to a slotted wall standard and the wedge forces the L-shaped legs of the brackets against the inner surface of the wall standard to secure mounting. The slotted wall standard may be an exposed wall standard or a hidden wall standard. A hang rod may be mounted at the distal end of the bracket with the same bracket and recess structure in which case the wedge forces the hang rod against an edge of the recess opposite the angled edge.
