A freestanding modular wall according to the present invention includes at least two base members, a vertical post securely attached to each base member, a bottom horizontal bar between each pair of posts, a plurality of substantially rectangular panels, a horizontal bar above each panel or each horizontal row of panels, and a vertical bar between each pair of panels or each vertical column of panels. Each vertical post forms at least one vertical slot for receiving the ends of horizontal bars and the vertical edges of panels, and each vertical bar forms slots on both edges for receiving the vertical edges of panels and the ends of horizontal bars. Likewise, each horizontal bar forms slots along at least one edge for receiving the ends of vertical bars and horizontal edges of the panels. Each panel forms two faces, two vertical edges and two horizontal edges. Each panel is of a substantially standard depth and each panel face is selected from one to three substantially standard sizes. The panels are arranged in horizontal rows or vertical columns or a combination of the two. In a preferred form, the ends of horizontal bars are releasably lockable into the slots formed by the vertical posts or into the slots formed by the vertical bars, and the ends of the vertical bars releasably lockable into the slots formed by the horizontal bars.
