Abstract: A display shelving unit is provided along with a method of converting an existing shelf structure into such a shelving unit. The shelving unit includes a pair of horizontally spaced apart L-shaped support members each having a first leg supported by the floor and a second leg extending upwardly therefrom. The first leg is tapered from front to back while the second leg is tapered from bottom to top. A backboard member is positioned against the second legs so as to be upwardly and rearwardly inclined and a bottom shelf member is positioned against the first legs so as to be downwardly and rearwardly inclined. At least one mid-shelf support member is positioned on the floor between the first legs of the L-shaped support member and substantially parallel thereto and is also tapered from front to back for supporting the bottom shelf member between the opposite sides thereof.

Abstract: A pair of L-shaped support members each include integrally connected vertical and horizontal channel members on which a shelf member and back member are supported. The horizontal channel member tapers rearwardly and the vertical channel member tapers upwardly. Uprights are bolted to the vertical channel members and carry brackets for supporting shelves. The lowest shelf is positioned directly above the floor on the horizontal channel members.
