A shelf assembly has a horizontal toiletry article supporting tray with wedge-shaped brackets formed as depending extensions of the left and right ends of the tray. Vertical rear edges of the brackets abut a wall and angled front edges bear against a conventional towel bar to removably secure the shelf behind the bar and to elevate the tray to permit normal usage of the bar to hang towels. The rear of the tray has an upwardly extending flange which serves as a shelf back abutting the wall. Rods are provided on its left, front and right edges to present a raised lip to keep articles on the shelf. The tray, brackets and flange are preferably formed as an integral, unitary structure of acrylic plastic.

In combination with a U-shaped towel bar having a middle portion and two end portions; and is adapted to be mounted to a vertical wall, said end portions each having a length defining a spacing distance from said wall so that a towel may be draped over said bar, a removable shelf assembly comprising: a horizontal elongated tray having an upper surface for supporting articles thereon and an under surface; a pair of wedge-shaped brackets depending from longitudinally spaced positions along said tray; each bracket having a vertical rear edge, an outwardly and upwardly angled front edge, and upper and lower sections extending outwardly from said rear edge to said front edge; the outward extend of said upper section being greater than said towel bar spacing distance from said wall and the outward extent of said lower section being less than said towel bar spacing distance; with the respective outward extensions of said upper and lower sections and angling of said front edges being such that, when said brackets are placed from above into the space between said towel bar and said wall, said rear edges will abut said wall and said lower sections of said brackets will descend behind and below said bar until said angled edges come into contact with said bar at points intermediate said upper and lower sections, with said brackets being brought to bear against said wall and said bar to seat said shelf assembly on said bar and to cause said rear edges to be retained in abutment with said wall and said under surface of said tray to be sufficiently elevated above said bar to permit normal usage of portions of said bar underlying said tray for draping of a towel thereover.
