According to various aspects of the present disclosure, there are provided various exemplary embodiments of shelves, resilient drawer stops, and drawer brackets mountable to wall-mounted standards for supporting shelves and drawers. In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes at least one shelf member, at least one bracket, and at least one resilient drawer stop. The bracket includes at least one engagement member for engaging a standard to mount the bracket to the standard, a support surface disposed generally horizontally when the bracket is mounted to the standard to slidably support a portion of a drawer, and a shelf support adjacent the support surface for supporting the shelf member. The resilient drawer stop is configured to resist completely sliding a drawer from the bracket's support surface.
