Abstract
A shelving assembly having vertical standards and cantilever brackets, and an elongated cover over each standard. The cover has slots coinciding with the standard slots but of greater length. The cover webs between the slots are shorter than the standard webs. The bracket holds the cover vertically in place. The cover flanges laterally stabilize the bracket. The brackets have lugs that extend through slots on the cover and slots on the standard, and engage behind webs on the standard between the slots. The spaces between the lug front faces and the rear edge of the bracket have receiving portions of a width to receive both standard webs and cover webs. The bracket rear edge also has abutment portions adjacent the bottom of the bracket engaging exposed standard web surface not covered by cover web.
