Abstract: The shelf support assembly comprises an elongated, vertical support member; a plurality of substantially U-shaped, horizontal support members; and a vertically disposed, elongated, connecting member. The U-shaped, horizontal support members are in spaced parallel relationship along at least a portion of the length of the vertical support member. The horizontal support members each comprise a base portion with first and second arms depending therefrom. The ends of each of the first arms are securely connected to a first side of the vertical support member and the ends of each of the second arms are securely connected to the second side of the vertical support member. The vertically disposed connecting member is securely attached to the base portions of the U-shaped, horizontal support members to provide rigidity of the shelf support assembly.
