The modular shelving system (100) includes a shelf assembly (102) having a plurality of elongated horizontally-extending side rails (106). At least some of the side rails (106) include at least one open-ended first through slot (116), each first through slot (116) extending lengthwise on a horizontally-projecting side rail strip (112) along a common junction (114) from a corresponding one of the side rail ends. The shelving system (100) also includes a plurality of elongated vertically-extending corner posts (104) to which the side rail ends are connected to form a self-standing skeletal structure. Each corner post (104) has at least two open-ended second through slots (126) located at a given distance in-between the corner post ends and that each extend perpendicularly from a corresponding side edge (124) towards a common junction (122) of the corner post (104). Each first through slot (116) forms a detachable interdigitated and load-bearing engagement with a corresponding one of the second through slots (126) to support the shelf assembly (102). |
