Abstract

A shelving system is provided for mounting on a wall or similar support surface. The system can comprise one or more shelves at varying heights to accommodate different storage requirements. At first top shelf is mounted on the wall by means of a pair of c-shaped brackets that are secured to the wall and removably hold the back of the shelf and by a pair of braces, each secured to the wall at one end and to opposite sides of the shelf at the other end. Another shelf can be added to the system below the top shelf by means of a second pair of c-shaped brackets secured to the wall below the first pair of brackets and by a pair of support members secured to the top shelf that extend downwardly to support the second shelf. Further shelves can be added to the system below the second shelf in the same manner.
