The clips are channel-shaped along their entire length, the channel side walls having inclined retaining surfaces thereon which cooperate with the associated support column to form a notch providing a wedge-fit for a side rail of the shelf frame. Each shelf frame side rail is provided with a plurality of apertures adjacent to the rear end thereof for receiving a stop pin which projects laterally therefrom for engagement with the rear columns of the support frames to facilitate front-to-back adjustment of the shelf frames with respect to the rack.
