A sheet metal folding shelf construction particularly suited for desk top use which may be transported in partially assembled folded condition to be subsequently erected by a user with a minimum of manipulation. A back panel is hingedly interconnected at each end to a pair of side panels, the side panels defining slots in which shelf members are engaged, the engagement of the shelf members serving to inhibit axial movement of the hinged components on the back and side elements.

Improved sheet metal shelf construction comprising: a rear wall element including a sheet metal main planar panel having opposed end edges, first segmented hinge means formed of curled sheet metal at said end edges defining shelf-engaging slots therein; first and second sheet metal side wall element

Improved sheet metal shelf construction comprising: a rear wall element including a sheet metal main planar panel having opposed end edges, first segmented hinge means formed of curled sheet metal at said end edges defining shelf-engaging slots therein; first and second sheet metal side wall elements each including a main planar panel having opposed end edges, corresponding second segmented hinge means formed of curled sheet metal at one of said end edges defining shelf-engaging slots therein, said first and second hinge means being axially slidably mutually engageable, one within the other to provide relative pivotal movement therebetween; said side wall elements having flange means at the other of said end edges thereof, having shelf-engaging slots in coplanar relation relative to said slots in said hinge means; at least one rectangularly shaped shelf selectively engaged within coplanar slots in said rear and side wall elements, engagement of the shelf in the shelf engaging slots serving to prevent relative axial movement between said first and second engaged hinge means; and means penetrating said side wall elements and said shelf to maintain said shelf in engagement within said coplanar slots.
