A shelf support system including: a plurality of elongate support elements, a plurality of elongate generally planar wall panels arranged in normal use transversely across said elongate support elements; and a plurality of shelf supports each including a hook or flange; wherein each said elongated support element includes a plurality of recesses therein, each said recess being undercut in said support element, to provide at least one overhanging lip at the mouth of said recess; each said wall panel is comprised of sheet material and includes a first part of a channel along a first edge of said panel, a complementary second part of a channel parallel to said first part along a second edge opposite said first edge, and a raised face between said parts of a channel; at least one said part including to substantially rigid oppositely recurving portions, providing the general form of an S-bend in cross-section, a first portion providing an overhanging flange and the second portion recurving behind the first to provide an undercut channel behind said first portion; whereby a channel can be formed by the association of said first edge of one said panel with said second edge of a second said panel, said channel having at least one overhanging flange; wherein the dimensions of said parts of a channel and recesses provide that a said first part of a channel can be fitted into a said recess, extending transversely relative to said elongate support element, and is movable longitudinally relative to said support element within said recess to an engaged position at which said first substantially rigid recurving portion passes around said overhanging lip, and said second substantially rigid recurving portion underlies said overhanging lip, the longitudinal overlap between said lip and said second recurving portion acting to engage said channel in said recess; further including means engageable to retain said first part of a channel in said engaged position by stopping movement of said panel longitudinally relative to said support element, said means including a transversely projecting flange on said panel, and a coacting detent on said support element; and wherein said hook or flange of said shelf supports can be engaged in said undercut channel to support a shelf.
