A rack has a frame and a plurality of shelves. Each shelf has an enclosing frame member that has two first sides connected by two second sides, a connecting bar that connects the first sides at about the center of the first sides, a plurality of slots provided on the inner surfaces of the second sides, and a plurality of slats, each slat having opposing ends that are fitted into opposing slots at the second sides, and with each slat being connected to the connecting bar. At least one connector is provided for removably connecting each shelf to a portion of the frame.

The presently claimed subject matter concerns modular furniture. More specifically the presently claimed subject matter concerns modular furniture, a method for its assembly and couplers therefor.

A shelf system with bars and with at least one connecting strut for connecting two bars adjacent to each other is provided. The connecting strut has receiving devices on its end faces. An undercut profile extending substantially parallel to the bar is attached or can be attached to the bar of the shelf system. Every undercut profile has two or more profile parts which are detachable from one another and can be joined together to form mutually flush surfaces. The profile part has a projection, which can be inserted into a recess of a bar, respectively, and the receiving device of the connecting strut can be pushed onto the undercut profile in its joined state.

An foldable shelf includes: a foldable support body, where the support body can be switched between a folded state and an unfolded state; several layer plates, where the several layer plates fit with the support body to form a storage space in the unfolded state and reduce a volume of the foldable shelf in the folded state; and a fixing mechanism for securing the layer plates to the support body, where the fixing mechanism includes: a first fastener, where an outer surface of the first fastener is provided with at least one protrusion; and a second fastener, where the second fastener is provided with a groove for accommodating the first fastener; where a side wall of the groove is provided with a through hole matching the protrusion.

Provided is prefabricated furniture and, more particularly, to a prefabricated shelf (angle) having assembly holes and assembly protrusions for assembling frames together, the frames being more firmly assembled as a pressing protrusion portion protrudes from a narrow portion of an assembly hole so that an assembly protrusion is forcibly fitted by the pressing protrusion part. The prefabricated shelf includes a first frame in which a pair of assembly holes, each having a wide portion and a narrow portion, are arranged symmetrically, and a second frame in which a pair of assembly protrusions, corresponding to the assembly holes and each protruding to fit into the narrow portion, are arranged symmetrically, wherein the narrow portion includes a pressing protrusion portion configured to protrude from a first end thereof and press the assembly protrusion to a second side thereof to force the assembly protrusion into place.

A tool storage system has a universal mounting bracket coupled to a support surface formed with a plurality of apertures that align with differently sized support arms that support a tool therefrom. The apertures are aligned along a common horizontal plane and the support arms have different heights that allow tools to be hung therefrom in a nesting relationship so that more tools can occupy less space or area relative to the support surface. The nesting relationship of the tools provides for a first tool supported by the first arm to fit within a space defined by the second tool supported by the second arm. In some instance, the first and second arms may be part of a pair of support arms, respectively.

A furniture assembly system including: a horizontal member; a vertical member arranged to cross said horizontal member as viewed in a plan view; a cross axis extending in an axial direction; a binding element to bind the horizontal member to the vertical member along the cross axis. The horizontal member crosses the vertical member at a crossover interface where the horizontal member is keyed to the vertical member at a keying interface adjacent the crossover interface to limit circumferential rotation therebetween about the cross axis.

Beams and posts are disclosed. The beams and posts may be used for racks or shelving. The beams and posts may be formed by folding a sheet of metal. For example, the beams and posts may be non-volumous or hollow. Optionally, a portion of the wall of the beam or post is thickened, for example, by folding over the metal back and forth. Optionally, the thickened portion runs the length of the beam or post. In some embodiments, a fastener (e.g., a loop and/or hook) is formed in the thickened portion of the wall. For example, the fastener formed by punching out of the wall. Optionally, the fasteners are used to connect the posts to the beams.

A high load capacity shelving system that is easily accessible from all sides. The shelving system comprises a plurality of corner posts, a plurality of shelving assemblies, and Z-esque shaped support beams. The support beam has a first vertical component above and coplanar with a second vertical component, a first horizontal component extending from a bottom portion of the first vertical component, a second horizontal component extending from a bottom portion of the second vertical component, and a diagonal component connecting the first horizontal component to a top portion of the second vertical component. The first horizontal component and the second horizontal component are parallel to each other.
