A storage rack having a plurality of shelves between end frames. Each of the plurality of shelves has U-shaped retainers that are snap fit, press fit, or friction fit onto a vertical member of the tubular end frame. A lateral support member attached to the end frames determines the different shelf heights with a side member resting on the frame cross members. In one embodiment, an angled end placed on the side members contacts the frame cross members, securely holding the bottom portion of a shelf. The top of the shelf being held by the U-shaped side end retainers and the bottom of the shelf being held by the angled ends results in a secure, rigid, easily assembled storage rack structure. In another embodiment, the storage rack has a triangular shape. The storage rack of the present invention can be easily assembled without any tools and is easily manufactured and shipped unassembled.
