ABSTRACT:
A modular shelf system having a plurality of shelf modules of various sizes for constructing a modular system for storing or displaying variously sized items. Each module includes opposed walls with an open front side. One wall presents a male attachment structure while the opposed wall defines a female receptacle configured to receive the male attachment structure. The system includes a pair of finish panels for attractively covering the attachment structures of the modules. One panel includes a first generally smooth side and a second side that defines a female receptacle such that the panel can be detachably coupled with a male attachment structure of a shelf module. The second panel presents a first smooth side and a second side having a male attachment structure suitable for detachably coupling with a female receptacle of a shelf module. The lower wall of each shelf module presents connectors which can be detachably coupled with apertures in each upper shelf module wall. The system further includes a top finish panel which can be detachably coupled to the upper walls of the shelf modules.
