A fold-flat shelving unit is formed from foldable sheet material and comprises a shelf (86) and shelf support panels (12a, 12b) erectable from a unitary preassembly (10), in which the shelf is connected between a pair of the shelf support panels so that at least a part of the shelf is caused to move from its folded position to its erected position as the pair of shelf support panels are moved from their folded to their erected position. In a further aspect, the fold-flat shelving unit may comprise an elongate shelving support panel formed from multiple thicknesses of foldable sheet material, the support panel (12a, 12b) being divided into upper and lower parts along a hinge line at which the number of thicknesses of the sheet material is reduced, the support panel being foldable about the hinge line when the shelving unit is folded flat, to reduce the length of the support panel. In another aspect, the unit includes a probe (80) which is engageable with the ground to cause the unit to unfold. |
