Cantivlever shelving assembly

A shelving assembly, comprising:

• a base having a front and a rear;
• at least two columns extending upward from the rear of the base;
• an upper cross-support beam connecting an upper end portion of the two columns;
• a plurality of cantilevered support brackets, each bracket being attached to a respective one of the columns at one of a plurality of selectable positions along a height of the respective one of the columns, and each bracket extending forward over the base;
• and
• at least one shelf supported between two laterally adjacent ones of the support brackets;
• wherein a span between the two columns is open so that shelf can be loaded from the rear,
• wherein the shelving assembly further comprises one or more additional columns extending upwards from the rear of the base and an additional upper cross-support beam for each of the one or more additional columns,
• wherein the one or more additional upper cross-support beams connect the upper end portion of each of the one or more additional columns to the upper end portion of an adjacent column,
• wherein the base has an L-shaped footprint, and at least one upper cross-support beam is substantially perpendicular to another upper cross-support beam,
• wherein the at least one shelf extends towards an exterior of the L-shaped footprint and the columns are disposed towards an interior of the L-shaped footprint,
• wherein the base comprises a first wing and a second wing extending from a corner base portion and substantially perpendicular to each other,
• wherein the at least two columns extend upward from the first wing, at least two additional columns extend upward from the second wing, and a corner column extends upward from the corner base portion,
• wherein the plurality of cantilevered support brackets supports at least one shelf extending forward from the columns extending upward from the first wing and at least one shelf extending forward from the columns extending upward from the second wing, and
• wherein the shelving assembly further comprises a first upper brace extending forward from the upper end portion of the at least two columns extending upward from the first wing, and a second brace extending forward from at least two of the columns extending upward from the second wing, each of the first brace and the second brace comprising at pair of forward struts, and a lateral strut extending between the forward struts.
