Abstract: A load bearing scaffold adapted to disperse load forces to interior room surfaces. The load bearing scaffold includes a pair of generally parallel telescopically adjustable horizontal beams. The horizontal beams are supported on at least one end by at least one pair of generally parallel vertical beams. The vertical beams are interconnected in spaced apart relation by at least one cross bar. The scaffold is assembled so that the vertical beams and cross bar abut against one wall while the horizontal beams abut against the ceiling and opposite wall. Articles may be supported by being suspended from the vertical beams or horizontal beams of the scaffold.
