Typically, the finger is dimensioned to be collapsibly received within the inner opening. The stem holder may include a cavity for receiving at least part of the stem, and at least part of the stem extends from a back face of the body member so that it may be received within an aperture on the wall to which the shelf support is to be mounted.
