1. A shelving system comprising:
a support post having a mounting portion presenting a plurality of support pins and opposed first and second exterior surfaces facing away from one another, wherein each support pin of the plurality of support pins is fixed to the support post and extends outwardly away from at least one of the opposed first and second exterior surfaces;
a shelf;
a bracket having a flange member that defines a plane, the flange member of the bracket configured for releasable attachment with any one support pin of the plurality of support pins fixed to the support post, wherein the flange member of the bracket is configured such that in an assembled state of the shelving system the flange member of the bracket has a first side in contact with one of the opposed first and second exterior surfaces of the support post and a second side opposite the first side, and a lateral bracket extending from the flange member of the bracket and configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the lateral bracket extends away from the support post in a longitudinal direction that is parallel to the plane, the lateral bracket configured to support the shelf; and
a locking member having a flange member that is configured for releasable attachment with any one support pin of the plurality of support pins fixed to the support post, wherein the locking member is configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system a portion of the locking member overlaps a portion of the second side of the flange member of the bracket to limit relative movement between the bracket and the locking member.
