Abstract
A collapsible shelving unit made out of pleated left and right sidewalls, a top panel, a rear pleated wall, and a multitude of permanent and removable shelves distributed within the sidewalls. The pleated design of the various walls of the shelf allow for the unit to be collapsed to a substantially flat state, ideal for transportation and storage when not in use. In the deployed state, the shelving unit is structurally supported by the rear pleated wall via a multitude of coupling fasteners resulting in a comparable shelving unit to be utilized for storing, selling, and or displaying of items. The portable, compact, and collapsible shelving unit provides the user with a highly efficient and functional shelving unit.
