The invention provides an adjustable standard system for a shelving or display unit having support means comprising supporting hardware attached to a sliding body engaged about a mounting rail. The rail comprises an enlarged front edge or bead which extends through a channel in the sliding body such that the sliding body can slide freely but cannot become detached from the rail. In a preferred embodiment the rail has a tongue provided with openings into which a latch projecting from the support means can be selectively engaged. The rail can be provided with hooks configured to mount on a conventional slotted standard, or with any other securing means which allows the rail to be mounted on a supporting surface. The standard system of the invention provides greater aesthetic appeal than a conventional standard system. Moreover, the sliding body can be engaged to and adjusted on the mounting rail without tilting the supporting hardware, which requires less clearance above supporting structures such as shelves, platforms and the like which increases the number of positions available for such structures, and permits supporting structures and hardware to be rearranged without removing stored or displayed articles.
