Shelves and other load supporting panels are releasably mountable between pairs of uprights by sandwiching the rear ends of the panels between an upper, rear mounting bracket and a lower, forward mounting bracket at each end of the panels. Each pair of upper and lower mounting brackets are mounted to an upright so as to be in opposed facing relation to another pair of upper and lower mounting brackets or an adjacent upright. A protuberance on one mounting bracket of each pairs engages into a corresponding indentation on the panel to prevent the panel being inadvertently slid outwardly horizontally from its position cantilevered from between the uprights.

1. A storage system comprising: at least first and second uprights wherein each upright of said first and second uprights has vertically extending front and rear edges and a pair of side faces extending between said front and rear edges,and wherein a spaced apart array of substantially identical groups of holes are formed along at least one of said pair of side faces on each said upright, and wherein each group of said groups of holes includes at least one receiving stub-shaft receiving aperture and one fastener aperture,and wherein said groups of holes in said array are alternatingly staggered along each of said uprights so that, counting downwardly from an uppermost first said group located adjacent said rear edge of said each upright, a second said group is located adjacent said front edge and at an elevation which is lower than said first group by a first vertical spacing,and wherein a third said group is located adjacent said rear edge and at an elevation which is lower than said second group by a second vertical spacing, said second vertical spacing greater than said first vertical spacing,and wherein a fourth said group is located adjacent said front edge and at an elevation which is lower than said third group by said first vertical spacing,a plurality of sets of mounting brackets wherein each set of mounting includes at least four mounting brackets and wherein each mounting bracket within each set of said mounting brackets includes a base member, a stub-shaft extending from said base member, and at least one fastener aperture, wherein said stub-shaft is sized for snug fitment into said stub-shaft receiving apertures,and wherein said base member, when mounted against a corresponding said side face of a corresponding said upright with said stub-shaft journalled fully into a corresponding said stub-shaft receiving aperture, and with a fastener mounted through said fastener aperture and into corresponding said fastener receiving aperture, has an upper end and an opposite lower end,at least one planar panel having a pair of side edges at opposite sides thereof wherein each side edge has an indentation formed on said panel adjacent a corresponding said side edge; a rear edge and an opposite front edge of said panel extending between said pair of side edges, and wherein at least one of said upper and lower ends of said base member has a protuberance thereon which mates into a corresponding said indentation on said panel,wherein, with one set of mounting brackets mounted to corresponding said first and second groups of holes, and with said rear edge of said panel inserted between said mounting brackets when mounted into said first and second groups of holes, said panel having a thickness so as to snugly fit into said first vertical spacing, and with said rear edge of said panel substantially flush with said rear edges of said uprights, an upper surface of said panel adjacent said rear edge of said panel abuts upwardly against said lower ends of said mounting brackets mounted to said first set of holes, and a lower surface of said panel adjacent said rear edge of said panel abuts downwardly against said upper ends of said mounting brackets to mount to said second set of holes, and said protuberances mated into said corresponding said receiving indentation on said panel. 2. The system of claim 1 wherein said each vertical upright is a beam, and wherein said panel includes a shelf, and wherein said first vertical spacing is substantially the shelf thickness, and wherein said second vertical spacing includes spacing between a vertically adjacent pair of said shelves. 3. The system of claim 2 wherein said beam is substantially a rectangular parallelepiped, and wherein said each groups of holes includes at least two vertically spaced apart holes. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein said holes are substantially vertically aligned one over the other. 5. The system of claim 2 wherein each group of holes includes at least three vertically spaced apart holes. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein a centre hole of said holes is said stub-shaft receiving aperture. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein said protuberance is only on said upper ends of said base members. 8. The system of claim 7 wherein said protuberance is a nub-like projection. 9. The system of claim 7 wherein said projection is a ridge extending transversely of said base member when mounted to said upright so that said ridge extends outwardly of a corresponding side face of said upright. 10. The system of claim 1 wherein said set of mounting brackets includes two opposed-facing pairs of said mounting brackets mounted to opposed-facing said side faces on said uprights. 11. The system of claim 10 wherein said apertures are bores extending completely through said uprights. 12. The system of claim 10 wherein said beam has a beam thickness extending completely through said beam from one said side face to the other said side face, and wherein said beam has a length from a top end of said beam to a bottom end of said beam, and wherein said beam has a depth orthogonal to said thickness of said beam and said length of said beam, and wherein said front and rear edges are spaced apart by said depth, and wherein said two opposed-facing pairs of said mounting brackets include an upper pair of mounting brackets and a lower pair of mounting brackets, and wherein said upper and lower pairs of mounting brackets are spaced apart across said beam by substantially said depth. 13. The system of claim 12 wherein said panel is a planar shelf extending between a pair of said uprights and cantilevered from said uprights by substantially a corresponding depth of said shelf. 14. The system of claim 13 wherein said shelf is cantilevered substantially horizontally. 15. The system of claim 13 wherein a plurality of said shelves are mounted between corresponding said sets of mounting brackets mounted to said apertures in said uprights. 16. The system of claim 15 further comprising additional said uprights and additional said shelves mounted to, so as to extend between adjacent said uprights on corresponding sets of brackets.
