A storage unit having a back panel, a top panel attached to the back panel, a bottom panel attached to the back panel, a pair of opposing side panels attached to the back, top and bottom panels so as to define a housing having an interior, and a plurality of shelf members positioned within the interior of the housing and arranged in a vertically oriented fashion. The shelf members are removably mounted to the back panel and opposing side panels. The storage unit further comprises a plurality of divider members removably positioned between (i) each pair of consecutive shelf members, (ii) the top panel and an uppermost shelf member and (iii) the bottom panel and a lowermost shelf member. The divider members define a plurality of compartments. In one embodiment, the compartments function as drawer-receiving spaces wherein each drawer-receiving space is sized for receiving a corresponding drawer. Each divider member can be repositioned to provide compartments of varying sizes.

What is claimed is: 1. A storage unit assembly comprising: first and second opposed side walls; a top member, wherein said first and second opposed sidewalls are attached to the top member; a bottom member, wherein said first and second opposed sidewalls are attached to the bottom member; at least one shelf interposed between said first and second opposed side walls and between said top member and bottom member, said shelf comprising a first substantially planar portion upon which parts, components or hardware may be stored; said shelf further comprising a second portion including a first substantially planar wall that extends at an obtuse angle from said first substantially planar portion, wherein said first substantially planar wall has at least one opening formed therethough, said opening being sized to receive a portion of a divider member; and said second portion including a second substantially planar wall extending at an acute angle from said first substantially planar wall of said second portion, said second substantially planar wall being generally perpendicular to said first substantially planar portion, said second substantially planar wall extending to a distal end that is spaced apart from said first substantially planar wall and said first substantially planar portion so as to form an open space that is bounded only by said first substantially planar wall and said second substantially planar wall, wherein when a portion of a divider member is inserted into said at least one opening in said first substantially planar wall, said portion of said divider member extends into said open space. 2. The storage unit assembly according to claim 1 wherein said at least one shelf has a front portion and a rear portion, wherein said second portion is part of said front portion, said shelf further comprising a third portion that is part of said rear portion, said third portion including a third substantially planar wall that extends at an obtuse angle from said first substantially planar portion, wherein said third substantially planar wall has at least one opening that is formed therethrough and substantially aligned with said opening in said first substantially planar wall of said second portion, said third portion further comprising a fourth substantially planar wall extending at an acute angle from said third substantially planar wall and being generally perpendicular to said first substantially planar portion. 3. The storage unit assembly according to claim 2 further comprising a divider having a first portion inserted into said opening of said first substantially planar wall and a second portion inserted into said opening of said third substantially planar wall. 4. The storage unit assembly according to claim 2 wherein said shelf further comprises a pair of opposed side portions extending from said first substantially planar portion, each of said pair of opposed side portions being adjacent a corresponding one of said first and second opposed side walls of said storage unit, said pair of opposed side portions being generally perpendicular to said first substantially planar portion. 5. The storage unit assembly according to claim 4 wherein said first substantially planar portion has openings formed therethrough, wherein one of said openings is proximate to one of said pair of opposed side portions and another of said openings is proximate to the other of said pair of opposed side portions. 6. The storage unit assembly according to claim 5 wherein each one of said opposed first and second side walls includes at least one protruding member received in a corresponding opening in said first substantially planar portion. 7. A shelf for a storage unit, comprising: a substantially planar portion; a ramped front portion contiguous with said substantially planar portion, wherein said ramped front portion includes a first substantially planar wall that extends at an obtuse angle from said first substantially planar portion and a second substantially planar wall that extends at an acute angle from said first substantially planar wall, wherein said first substantially planar wall has a plurality of slots formed therethrough, wherein each of said slots is sized to receive a portion of a divider member, said second substantially planar wall extending to a distal end that is spaced apart from said first substantially planar wall and said first substantially planar portion so as to form an open space that is bounded only by said first substantially planar wall and said second substantially planar wall, wherein when a divider member is inserted into one of said slots, a portion of said divider member extends into said open space; and a pair of opposed side portions extending from said first substantially planar portion, said pair of opposed side portions being generally perpendicular to said first substantially planar portion.
