ABSTRACT:
A display shelving unit is provided along with a method of converting an existing shelf structure into such a shelving unit. The shelving unit includes a pair of horizontally spaced apart L-shaped support members each having a first leg supported by the floor and a second leg extending upwardly therefrom. The first leg is tapered from front to back while the second leg is tapered from bottom to top. A backboard member is positioned against the second legs so as to be upwardly and rearwardly inclined and a bottom shelf member is positioned against the first legs so as to be downwardly and rearwardly inclined. At least one mid-shelf support member is positioned on the floor between the first legs of the L-shaped support member and substantially parallel thereto and is also tapered from front to back for supporting the bottom shelf member between the opposite sides thereof. The method of converting the existing shelf structure into the enlarged display shelf comprises removing the lower shelf and the front stabilizing leg from the existing structure, connecting one of the L-shaped support members to each upright standard of the existing structure with the first leg engaging the floor and extending forwardly from the standard and with the second leg engaging and extending upwardly along the standard, and positioning the back board member and the bottom shelf member against the second legs and first legs of the support members, respectively.
