Shelving system

A method of assembling a shelving unit, comprising:

• providing a first and a second vertical frame each having respective first and second vertical posts horizontally separated by a respective first and second shelf support;
• attaching a plurality of sliding mounting connectors to the periphery of a first shelf;
• attaching each sliding mounting connector to a respective vertical post of the first and second vertical frames;
• sliding the sliding mounting connectors along the vertical posts until the connectors abut the first and second shelf supports;
• and
• inserting a wedge-shaped piece between the sliding mounting connector and the respective vertical support,
• wherein the sliding mounting connector has a U-shaped channel sized to detachably engage the vertical support.

A shelving system, comprising,

• two or more shelving units, each shelving unit comprising
• two vertical frames each having vertical posts, the vertical posts being hollow at least at a top end and a bottom end, the bottom hollow end having internal screw threads;
• one or more shelf supports attached to each vertical frame and horizontally separating the respective vertical posts thereof;
• at least one shelf;
• a plurality of sliding mounting connectors attached to a periphery of the shelf, sized to detachably engage and slide along a respective vertical post;
• and
• a wedge-shaped piece inserted between the sliding mounting connector and the respective vertical post,
• wherein, when assembled, the sliding mounting connectors are caused to slide along the vertical posts until the connectors abut the shelf support and the wedge-shaped piece prevents further sliding of the sliding mounting connectors;
• and
• a plurality of vertical connectors having a first end shaped to detachably engage the top end of the vertical post and a second end threaded to thread into the bottom end of the vertical post.

A method of assembling a shelving system, comprising:

• assembling a plurality of shelving units, the assembling of each shelving unit comprising the steps of:
• providing two vertical frames each having vertical posts horizontally separated by a shelf support, the vertical posts being hollow at least at a top end and a bottom end, the bottom hollow end having internal screw threads;
• attaching a plurality of sliding mounting connectors to the periphery of a shelf;
• attaching each sliding mounting connector to a respective vertical post of a vertical frame;
• sliding the sliding mounting connectors along the vertical posts until the connectors abut the shelf support;
• and
• inserting a wedge-shaped piece between the sliding mounting connector and the vertical support,
• wherein the sliding mounting connector has a U-shaped channel sized to detachable engage the vertical support;
• threading one end a vertical connector into each bottom end of a respective vertical post of a first shelf unit;
• and
• stacking the first shelving unit on a second shelving unit by inserting a second end of the vertical connectors into the top ends of respective vertical posts of second shelving unit.

A shelving system, comprising:

• a first vertical frame, a second vertical frame and a third vertical frame each having a respective first, second and third vertical posts;
• one or more shelf supports attached to each of the first, second and third vertical frames and horizontally separating the respective vertical posts thereof;
• a first shelf;
• a plurality of sliding mounting connectors attached to a periphery of the first shelf, the connectors sized to detachably engage and slide along the first, second or third vertical posts;
• one or more first wedge-shaped pieces inserted between the sliding mounting connectors and the respective first, second or third vertical posts,
• wherein, when assembled, the sliding mounting connectors are caused to slide along the respective first or second vertical posts until the connectors of the first shelf abut the shelf support and the first wedge-shaped pieces prevent further sliding of the sliding mounting connectors of the first shelf;
• a second shelf having a plurality of the sliding mounting connectors attached to a periphery of the second shelf;
• a second wedge-shaped piece,
• wherein, when assembled, at least one of the sliding mounting connectors of the second shelf is caused to slide along the third vertical post until the connector abuts the shelf support of the third frame and at least one of the sliding mounting connectors of the second shelf is caused to slide along the second vertical post until the connector abuts the sliding mounting connector of the first shelf, and
• wherein the wedge-shaped pieces prevent further sliding of the sliding mounting connectors of the second shelf.
