Organizer wall panel assembly

An organizer wall panel assembly comprising a plurality of panels, each of the panels comprising:

• a panel body having a front surface, a wall engaging rear surface and horizontally extending upper and lower edges, the rear surface extending generally in a rear plane, the rear surface for bearing against a wall when the panel is in use, the front surface extending generally in a front plane parallel to and spaced laterally forward from the rear plane;
• an upper connection structure extending upwardly from the upper edge of the panel body;
• and
• a covering flange extending downwardly from the lower edge of the panel body to a flange bottom edge portion,
• wherein the covering flange of a first panel of the plurality of panels overlies a front surface of the upper connection structure of a second panel,
• wherein the covering flange is resiliently deflectable relative to the panel body between at least:
• an unstressed initial position, in which the flange bottom edge portion is spaced rearwardly from the front plane, and
• a stressed assembled position, in which the flange bottom edge portion is spaced forward of the unstressed initial position, and the covering flange of the first panel exerts a holding force on the upper connection structure of the second panel in a direction toward the wall that resists separation of the first and second panels.

• an upper connection structure extending upwardly from the upper edge of the panel body;
• and
• a covering flange extending downwardly from the lower edge of the panel body to a flange bottom edge portion for covering a front surface of the upper connection structure of a second panel when in an assembled condition with the first panel;
• wherein the flange bottom edge portion of the covering flange comprises a flange rear surface directed toward the rear plane, a rearwardly projecting rib extending from a lower end of the flange rear surface, and a flange front surface opposite the flange rear surface, the flange front surface inclined rearwardly toward the rear plane when the covering flange is in the unstressed initial position, and the front flange surface coplanar with the front surface of the panel body when the covering flange is in the stressed assembled position;
• wherein the covering flange is resiliently deflectable relative to the panel body between at least:
• an unstressed initial position, in which the flange bottom edge portion is spaced rearwardly from the front plane and the flange front surface is inclined rearwardly toward the rear plane, and
• a stressed assembled position, in which the flange bottom edge portion is spaced forward of the unstressed initial position and the front flange surface is coplanar with the front surface of the panel body, wherein the covering flange of the first panel exerts a holding force against the upper connection structure of the second panel in a direction toward the rear plane that resists separation of the first and second panels.
