Abstract
A cooperating shelf and bracket system having a bracket which embraces and engages the rear portion of the shelf so as to support the shelf and permit its mounting in cantilever fashion from a shelf upright. The bracket may be formed with arms which grip cooperating structure on the shelf so that when fully inserted the shelf is securely retained in the bracket. The shelf is easily removable via a releasing system, which permits the shelf to be inserted and removed in a horizontal plane without the need for rotation relative to the bracket.
