A second support member is mounted on the standards and between the braces by a second arrangement for detachably mounting disposed in the innermost rows of openings, and the second support member has a second support surface which extends outwardly from the standards intermediate the braces of the first support member, whereby the first and second support surfaces can be detachably positioned relative to each other in a useful and convenient manner.
