ABSTRACT:
A rope-suspended shelving unit wherein a plurality of generally rectangular shelves each of which has a front and rear edge are provided with first holes respectively in the four corners or only in the rear two corners. A second hole is substantially in the middle between one of the rear holes and either the respective front hole or the front edge. A third hole is substantially in the middle between the second hole and the respective front hole or front edge. The holes are adapted so that a rope, chain, cable or the like can pass through them so as to maintain the shelves in layered relationship at predetermined yet adjustable intervals. An elastic stabilizer is arranged on the part of the rope or the like in contact with the rear edge of the shelf so that the rope is fixed on the back side of the shelf in the lowermost step so that no receiving metal fixture is required and the formation is simple and stable in contact with the wall. An elastic bushing is affixed in the holes to further prevent slippage of the rope in contact with the shelves.
