1. An adjustable shelf system, comprising:
a first shelf section comprised of a first L-shaped portion having a first leg and a second leg and a first adjustable portion interconnected to the first leg of the first shelf section to form a first slidable connection, whereby sliding the first adjustable portion relative to the first leg of the first L-shaped portion adjusts a length of the first shelf section;
a second shelf section comprised of a second L-shaped portion having a first leg and a second leg and a second adjustable portion interconnected to the first leg of the second shelf section to form a second slidable connection, whereby sliding the second adjustable portion relative to the first leg of the second L-shaped portion adjusts a length of the second shelf section, the second leg of the first L-shaped portion interconnected to the second leg of the second L-shaped portion to form a third shelf section, whereby sliding the second leg of the first L-shaped portion relative to the second leg of the second L-shaped portion adjusts a length of the third shelf section, the first, second and third shelf sections together forming a U-shaped shelf; and
a plurality of legs attached to an underside of the U-shaped shelf, each of the plurality of legs being adjustable in height;
wherein the first adjustable portion is comprised of a first base portion from which a first plurality of fingers depend and the first leg of the first L-shaped portion defines a first plurality of channels, each configured to receive one of the first plurality of fingers to form the first slidable connection when the first plurality of fingers are inserted into the first plurality of channels; and
wherein a top surface of the first L-shaped portion, including top surfaces of each portion interposed between the plurality of channels, and a top surface of the first adjustable portion, including top surfaces of each of the first plurality of fingers, are planarly aligned.
