Abstract
A shelving assembly includes a support plate, left and right side supports, and a front anti-tip and retention feature. The side supports each include a front end located adjacent to a front edge of the support plate, and a rear end located adjacent to a rear edge of the support plate. A portion of the front anti-tip and retention feature is disposed above the support plate for preventing tipping and for retaining the support plate on the side supports. The front anti-tip and retention feature is configured such that a majority of the top surface of the support plate along opposite left and right side edges is freely exposed and unencumbered.
