Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a modular shelving system for supporting various objects such as home furnishings, books, artistic objects, and the like. The shelving system includes a generally horizontal panel supported by a support assembly that includes a panel and at least one rod. In one example, the shelving system can be moved between first and second arrangements. In the first arrangement, at least two of the support assembly panels are aligned and in the second arrangement at least two of the support assembly panels are unaligned. The shelving system is easily moved between the disassembled and assembled state.

- and
- a second shelving unit including
- a second shelf;
- a second panel joined to one end of said second shelf such that said second panel supports said second shelf;
- and
- a second rod joined to an opposite end of said second shelf such that said second rod supports said second shelf;
- said first shelving unit supports said second shelving unit vertically stacked on said first shelving unit and said first rod is unaligned with said second rod.
A shelving system comprising:
- a first shelving unit including
- a first shelf with a first end and an opposite second end;

- and
- a second rod joined to said second shelf near said third end such that said second rod supports said second shelf;
- said second shelving unit is vertically stacked on and supported by said first shelving unit such that said first end of said first shelf is closer to said third end of said second shelf than said fourth end of said second shelf.
A shelving system comprising:
- a plurality of adjacent shelving units, each shelving unit including
- a shelf including a first end and an opposed second end;
