Abstract

A corner support post for shelving is provided in the form of an elongate member of sheet metal. The member has two side portions that are oriented generally perpendicular to each other, that each extend at about a 45 degree angle from a central wall, and that each define laterally offset, parallel walls. Each side portion has a vertical margin defining a generally cylindrical configuration. Identical posts are adapted to be aligned in end-to-end abutting registration relationship and fastened together with connecting plates.
