Abstract: An add-a-rod bracket assembly for receiving a hanger rod, particularly for clothes, includes a mounting block in an upper portion of the bracket assembly wherein the mounting block includes a pair of horizontally extending grooves in vertically spaced alignment along a front of the mounting block for receiving longitudinally extending wires of a wire shelf and at least a pair of spaced horizontally extending grooves on a top portion of the mounting block for receiving the transversely extending wires of a wire shelf. The bracket assembly terminates at a lower portion with a U-shaped cradle sized to receive a hanger rod therein, particularly a rod for clothes hangers.
