Abstract: A modular shelf system comprising a plurality of shelf units mounted to four vertical posts. The shelf units are provided with four hollow corner-pieces configured to fit over cone-shaped collars mounted to the posts. The hollow corner pieces are of an incomplete circumference forming a slot of a width exceeding the outer cross-measure of the posts to enable the lateral withdrawal of any shelf unit from the assembled position thereof.

Abstract: A modular shelving system which can be easily assembled and disassembled is disclosed. The system comprises: (1) vertical posts; (2) horizontal beams; (3) side horizontal braces; (4) connectors capable of being mounted on the vertical posts and having 1-4 identical ears protruding from the sides of the connector capable of being coupled to the horizontal beams and braces; and (5) shelf pieces which are positioned on the horizontal beams. The width of the side horizontal braces is substantially similar to the width of the connectors, thus forming one continuous surface.
