The shelf includes a perimetric frame having adjacent side frame members which merge to define a corner section having an inside contour corresponding with that of the post. Each corner section has at least one inwardly-projecting horizontal rib adapted to seat in any selected indentation of the post. Different means are disclosed for drawing the rib into a selected indentation and for locking the parts in interfitting relationship.

Shelf and corner post combination

A shelf and corner post assembly wherein the shelf is adjustable into any of a variety of selected elevations. Each of the generally cylindrical corner posts is provided with one or more series of indentations adapted to receive arm portions of a U-shaped clip. A screw urges the clip into engagement with the post to clamp the post within a corner section of the perimetric frame of the shelf. A corner brace is secured to the frame and, in one form, extends horizontally between the upper and lower arms of the clip. The frame includes flanges which slope to promote drainage and edges which are spaced from the clip to prevent possible dirt accumulation and to facilitate assembly.
