The shelving member includes an end with at least two depending shafts spaced apart a predetermined distance apart. The frame includes at least two apertures spaced apart a corresponding predetermined distance. The connector is used to coupling the shelving member to the frame member. The connector has a body or bridging section with at least two depending prongs spaced apart a distance corresponding to the predetermined distance. Each of the prongs has an upper end and a lower end, an aperture extending at least partially therethrough. The aperture of each prong is sized to receive one shaft of the shelving member, such as in frictional engagement. The apertures in the frame are also sized to receive the prongs of the connector, The connector can be used to join the shelving member and the frame or rack. Multiple shelving members and rack members can be joined together using a plurality of the connectors to assemble various rack and shelving units.
