Abstract
A shelf structure includes a first and second panel. Each panel has a pair of transversely spaced apart side rails. A plurality of equidistantly spaced slots is formed in an inboard side of each of the side rails and a plurality of slats has opposed ends received within corresponding slots. The first and second panels are hingedly connected to one another at respective uppermost ends so that an “A” shape is formed when their respective lower ends are laterally spaced apart from one another. Each slat forming a part of the first panel has a transversely disposed, corresponding slat in the second panel at the same height so that removal of a pair of corresponding slats creates a pair of level openings. A shelf is slidingly inserted into each pair of openings. A chain interconnects the first panel and second panel near their lower ends to maintain the A shape.
