Abstract
A shelving system includes a horizontal polygonal base shelf assembly and a substantially identical horizontal top shelf assembly, a plurality of vertical support posts, and one or more intermediate shelf assemblies positioned between the top shelf assembly and the bottom shelf assembly. Each intermediate shelf assembly is supported by hanger brackets which are removably secured to the support posts. Accordingly, each intermediate shelf assembly can be quickly installed and removed without the necessity of disassembling the other components of the shelving system. Optionally, an overlay may be placed on one or more of the shelf assemblies. The overlay is removably secured at its perimeter to the shelf assemblies by means of a snap-on trim panel. The overlay and trim panel may have different selected textures, patterns, and colors to provide an inexpensive, easily changeable informational and decorative display.
