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 that defines a plane, the flange configured for releasable attachment with any one support pin of the plurality of support pins fixed to the support post, wherein the flange is configured such that in an assembled state of the shelving system the flange 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 an elongated support portion extending from the flange and configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the elongated support portion extends away from the support post in a longitudinal direction that is parallel to the plane, the elongated support portion configured to support the shelf; and
a locking member having a flange 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 of the bracket to limit relative movement between the bracket and the locking member,
wherein the locking member is configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system a portion of the locking member extends below a bottom side of the shelf.
