Abstract
An injection-molded plastic shelf for use with slat walls has a top surface on which goods are supported and an opposite bottom surface. An integral tubular frame extends substantially peripherally around the bottom surface. The tubular frame has a wall that projects downwardly from said bottom surface and defines an internal bore of the tubular frame. A plurality of ribs is formed on the bottom surface integrally therewith for reinforcing the same. Each of the plurality of ribs has a longitudinal bore that extends therethrough and at least one end intersecting the wall of the tubular frame so that the bores of the ribs communicate with the internal bore of the tubular frame thus forming a network of communicating bores.
