The present invention relates to a bracket for supporting either plank or wire shelving with the bracket mounted to a vertical support standard. The bracket contains a plurality of tabs, some of which extend in a downward direction and away from the main body of the bracket to form a series of notches. This tab and notch system allow the tabs to be inserted into the grooves in the vertical support standard which prevents dislocation of the bracket from the support standard. The bracket also contains an additional tab and notch to hold the rear of the longitudinal rod of a wire shelf in place. This tab may be bent forward to permanently lock the wire shelf into place. The bracket also, contains screw holes such that either plank or wire shelving can be mounted to it and has a front section that fits between the front longitudinal rods of a wire shelf to keep the wire shelf in place. Furthermore, the bracket contains raised surfaces on its sides that add a larger compression area such that the bracket can better support a load.
