Publication number: 20080252190Abstract: A storage system comprises a base unit, one or more self supports, a drawer assembly, and one or sore stops. The base unit includes a pair of opposing sidewalls. The one or more shelf supports are adapted to be removably carried by the opposing sidewalls to define one or more storage locations. The drawer assembly includes a base shelf and a drawer slidably carried by the base shelf. The base shelf is configured to be removably supported on the shelf supports within the one or more storage locations. The one or more stops are adapted to be removably carried by the opposing sidewalls opposite the base shelf from the shelf supports. Thus, the stops retain the base shelf in engagement with the shelf supports even when the drawer is loaded and pulled partially out of the base unit during use.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2007Publication date: October 16, 2008Inventors: Zachary Utz, Michael Nicholls, Joseph Yankello, Anthony Marchetta, Rob Warner
