A shelf divider adapted for mounting within shelf spaces of differing heights generally includes a divider member defining a series of edges. Engagement tabs extend from the edges, and include a first pair of tabs on one edge and a second pair of tabs on another edge. A stabilizing tab extends from an edge opposite the first pair of tabs, and a stabilizing tab also extends from an edge opposite the second pair of tabs. Each shelf member includes a row of slots in an upper support wall, and also includes a row of slots in a lower, downwardly facing wall. The shelf divider is dimensioned and configured such that it can be positioned in a first orientation and engaged within a shelf space having a first height, by engaging the first pair of tabs with slots in the lower shelf member and engaging the oppositely-located stabilizing tab within the downwardly facing slot in the shelf member thereabove. The same shelf divider can also be used to divide a shelf space having a different height by positioning the shelf divider in a second orientation in which the second pair of tabs are received within the slots in the lower shelf member of the second shelf space. The oppositely-extending stabilizing tab is received within the downwardly facing slot in the shelf member located thereabove for stabilizing the shelf divider against lateral forces.

[ I claim:] [1.] A shelf divider for use with a shelf arrangement including a lower shelf member and an upper shelf member spaced above the lower shelf member and defining a shelf space therebetween, comprising:divider structure; andengagement structure associated with the divider structure, wherein the engagement structure is adapted to provide engagement of the divider structure with the lower shelf member when the shelf divider is in either a first orientation or a second orientation relative to the lower shelf member, wherein the shelf divider in its first orientation is adapted for placement within a shelf space having a first height and wherein the shelf divider in its second orientation is adapted for placement within a shelf space having a second height different than the first height, and wherein the engagement structure is further adapted to engage the upper shelf member when the shelf divider is in both its first orientation and its second orientation to provide lateral support to the divider structure when the shelf divider is in both its first orientation and its second orientation.
