A shelf assembly which is assembleable without extraneous fasteners and which may be shipped flat and ready for attachment to a pair of spaced standards. The assembly comprises an expansive shelf of formed sheet metal having an upper shelf surface portion and a lower portion which provides groups of spaced slots opening into hollows within the shelf. Shelf support brackets, each having an expansive main body portion, hooks for supporting the assembly on a standard and a pair of mounting ears integral with the bracket extend laterally from the upper regions of the bracket main body portion. The mounting ears are seated within the hollows of a corresponding group of slots. The ears on each bracket have projections by which the shelf and bracket are interconnected. At least one projection is a protuberance, the combined width of the ear and the protuberance being greater than the width of the slot portion through which that ear entered. One ear has a hook-like projection. The projections serve to resist withdrawal and separation of the bracket from the shelf.
