An edge protecting and reinforcing channel for shelves, boards, and similar plane platelike members. The channel is formed of a single metal strip and as seen in cross section includes an exterior section and two legs perpendicular thereto, and arranged such that with the exterior section extending along an edge of a board, the legs of the channel extend along adjacent portions of the two opposite side surfaces of the board. The free end portions of the legs are formed as inwardly bent edge flaps arranged to be introduced into grooves in the side surfaces of the board. Corner portions joining the exterior section to the legs are bent outwards and thereby form a free space at the inside of such corner portions to loosely cover the corners of the board. The bent flaps at the free edges of the legs of the channel form an acute angle relative to the channel legs.
