17 Claims

1. A shelf assembly, comprising:

a shelf top having a holding member configured to support one or more stored articles; and

at least one shelf bracket configured to be coupled to the shelf top and to a wall to securely position the shelf top relative to the wall, the at least one shelf bracket having a first side and a second side, the first and second sides being elongated and coupled at first ends thereof to form an approximately right angle, and a third side that is elongated and coupled between the first and second sides at second ends thereof and positioned opposite from the approximately right angle to form a generally triangular shape, wherein the at least one shelf bracket is further configured such that

in a first use position, the first side is positionable to extend approximately vertically along the wall with the first end of the first side at an upper position, the first side being couplable to the wall with the second side projecting outwardly from the wall and being couplable to the shelf top to support the holding member in an approximately horizontal position relative to the wall; and

in a second use position, the first side is positionable to extend approximately vertically along the wall with the first end of the first side at a lower position, the first side being couplable to the wall, the second side projecting outwardly from the wall, the third side sloping downwardly and away from the second end of the first side, the third side being couplable to the shelf top to support the holding member in a sloped position relative to the wall;

wherein the first side has a first elongate axis, wherein the first side has a first coupling slot formed in the first end of the first side, wherein the first coupling slot has an elongate axis that is perpendicular to the first elongate axis and wherein the first coupling slot of the first side accommodates more than one mounting member therethrough, and wherein the first side has a second coupling slot formed in the second end of the first side, wherein the second coupling slot of the first side has an elongate axis that is perpendicular to the first elongate axis and wherein the second coupling slot of the first side accommodates more than one mounting member therethrough; and

wherein the second side has a second elongate axis, wherein the second side has a first coupling slot formed in the first end of the second side, wherein the first coupling slot of the second side has an elongate axis that is perpendicular to the second elongate axis and wherein the first coupling slot of the second side accommodates more than one coupling member therethrough, and wherein the second side has a second coupling slot formed in the second end of the second side, wherein the second coupling slot of the second side has an elongate axis that is perpendicular to the second elongate axis and wherein the second coupling slot accommodates more than one coupling member therethrough.

9. A shelf assembly, comprising:

a shelf top having a holding member including a surface configured to support one or more stored articles, and a retaining rim projecting upwardly from a portion of a perimeter of the holding member to at least partially retain the one or more stored articles on the holding member; and

a pair of shelf brackets, each shelf bracket being configured to be coupled to the shelf top at spaced apart locations, and configured to be attached to a wall to securely position the shelf top relative to the wall, each shelf bracket having a first side and a second side, the first and second sides being elongated and coupled at first ends thereof by a first end member, the first and second sides forming an approximately right angle therebetween, and a third side that is elongated and coupled between the first and second sides at second ends thereof by second and third end members, the third side being positioned opposite from the approximately right angle to form a generally triangular shape, each shelf bracket further including a web member coupled to the first side, the second side, and the third side along lateral edges of the first, second, and third sides, wherein each shelf bracket is further configured such that

in a first use position, the first side is positionable to extend approximately vertically along the wall with the first end of the first side at an upper position, the first side being couplable to the wall with the second side projecting outwardly from the wall, the second side being couplable to the shelf top to support the holding member in an approximately horizontal position relative to the wall; and

in a second use position, the first side is positionable to extend approximately vertically along the wall with the first end of the first side at a lower position, the first side being couplable to the wall with the second side projecting outwardly from the wall, the third side sloping downwardly and away from the second end of the first side, the third side being couplable to the shelf top to support the holding member in a sloped position relative to the wall;
