The slats include a channel for permitting sliding movement of at least one of the brackets along the length thereof and one or more apertures located within the channel. A locking structure on at least one of the brackets cooperates with the one or more apertures of the slats for detachably securing and allowing longitudinal adjustment of the crossbar and bracket at predetermined positions along the slats.
