Abstract
A shelf extender for use on supermarket and like shelves is made from a sheet of plastic which has an adhesive strip or other attachment along a back edge thereof for securing same to the top surface of the shelf with a front portion of the sheet projecting beyond the front edge of the shelf. The front portion of the sheet has fold-down tabs which engage the front edge of the shelf to form cantilever supports or buttresses for the sheet when it is under load. Fold-up strips along the front and sides of the sheet form a surrounding wall for the shelf extender.
