Abstract
A shelving apparatus is provided having a first set of cross members and a second set of cross members which are adapted to slidably couple with one another to form an adjustable shelf. Both sets of cross members have single or plurality of corresponding projecting and female surfaces such that the male surfaces of the first set of cross members are slidably received by the female surface of the second set of cross members. The cross members, which are formed from light-weight material, have a cavity therein which assists in making the shelving apparatus strong and light weight. A support bracket is also provided for additional strength for the shelving apparatus.
