Abstract
An easily assembled wall-mounted shelving system, comprising at least two elongated standards secured to a wall, with each standard having a vertical axis and a plurality of slots; a plurality of end brackets to removably connect with said standards via said slots, said end brackets including gripping means for removably connecting the end of a shelf therewith, with such gripping means consisting of a clamping member, a clamping foot portion, or a screw fastener; and at least one shelf connected with said end brackets via said gripping means. The end brackets also can serve other purposes such as the support of book stops. The shelving system is suitable for mounting a single shelf and can be used with standard rigid shelving. Spacers located between the shelf and the wall so as to prevent swaying and rotation of said shelf relative to said standard axis are also disclosed.
