A shelving rack includes a frame structure including two generally vertical rear legs and two generally vertical front legs and a plurality of shelves formed of welded wire mesh arranged one above the next with a width substantially equal to the width of the rack and a depth between a front edge and a rear edge substantially equal to but greater than the depth of the rack. Each shelf is supported at the front edge either on a wire of the shelf attached across between the front legs or on a transverse beam of the frame so the weight from the front edge is carried by the front legs. Each shelf is inclined upwardly and rearwardly from the front edge toward the rear edge which is elevated with each shelf having an element forming part of a rear stiffener thereof at the rear edge in engagement with a respective one of the rear legs or a transverse beam across the rear legs.
