Abstract

Multi-shelf console furniture constructed having a pair of side frame support standards each being formed from a pair of laterally spaced wire frame members interconnected by a multiplicity of equally spaced U-shaped rungs, and shelving members of various configurations each having a rectangular frame with a rung connecting hook at each corner. The U-shaped rungs have the cross-piece of the "U" facing into the interior of the frame members and the hooks are positionable within the space defined by the U-shaped members and have a portion which rests on a leg of the member. Vertical stacking of the standard, and thus vertically built-up units, may be provided utilizing a ring coupling having a pair of spaced rectangular frames which grasp respective rungs of the upper and lower standards. Braces having rung gripping hooks may be utilized to increase the rigidity of the furniture units.
