An add-on shelf has a pair of legs at least one of which having a locking structure that is configured to removably lock the leg to an existing structure and a support structure that supports a shelf deck. A void space is positioned between the legs, shelf deck, and existing structure. Alternatively, a width adjustable storage apparatus has first and second sections operable to engage each other in a plurality of adjustable positions each corresponding to a different width of a shelf surface formed by the sections, and first and second supports that engage an existing structure for supporting the first and second sections. The shelf surface is positioned in a generally horizontal plane and the first and second sections do not extend above that generally horizontal plane.

The add-on shelf of claim 1, wherein said locking structure is configured to engage the existing structure to support each of said legs in a generally vertical position. 3. The add-on shelf of claim 2, wherein the at least one of said legs comprises a stabilizer that is configured to engage the existing structure and that extends laterally from the locking structure or the support structure. 4. The add-on shelf of claim 1, wherein the first and second sections of said locking structure form a generally L-shaped clamp such that said locking structure is operable to clamp said existing structure between said second section and said support structure. 5. The add-on shelf of claim 4, wherein said locking structure comprises a stabilizer coupled with and extending laterally from said second section, and wherein said stabilizer is configured to engage the existing structure. 6. The add-on shelf of claim 4, wherein said second section has a first end joined with said first section and a second end, and wherein said clamp flexes with respect to said support structure such that said second end is operable to move toward and away from said support structure. 7. The add-on shelf of claim 1, wherein each of said legs comprises a support structure that supports said shelf deck, and wherein said shelf deck removably engages each of said legs such that said legs substantially prevent lateral movement of said shelf deck with respect to said legs. 8. The add-on shelf of claim 7, wherein said support structure of each of said legs comprises a frame comprising front and rear bars each joined to a top bar that supports said shelf deck. 9. The add-on shelf of claim 8, wherein said support structure comprises a bottom bar that is joined to said front and rear bars and is configured to be supported by said existing structure. 10. The add-on shelf of claim 7, wherein at least one of said shelf deck and said support structure comprises an opening for receiving a portion of said other of said shelf deck and said support structure. 11. The add-on shelf of claim 10, wherein said support structure of each of said legs comprises front and rear bars each joined to a top bar, wherein said top bar comprises a first portion and a second portion that is raised relative to said first portion, and wherein said shelf deck comprises a bottom surface with openings for receiving said second portion of each of said legs. 12. The add-on shelf of claim 1, wherein each of said legs comprises a support structure that supports said shelf deck, and wherein said locking structure extends downward from said support structure. 13. The add-on shelf of claim 1, wherein the first section of the locking structure extends downward from the support structure, and wherein no portion of the support structure extends below any portion of the first section of the locking structure. 14. The add-on shelf of claim 1, wherein each of said legs has a locking structure that is configured to removably lock said leg to an existing structure. 15. An add-on shelf that is configured to engage an existing structure, comprising: a pair of legs, wherein at least one of said legs has a locking structure that is configured to removably lock said leg to an existing structure, wherein each of said legs comprises a support structure comprising front and rear bars each joined to a top bar, wherein said top bar comprises a first portion and a second portion that is raised relative to said first portion; anda shelf deck comprising a bottom surface with openings each operable to receive the second portion of one of said legs for substantially preventing lateral movement of the shelf deck, wherein said shelf deck is operable to removably engage each of said legs by being moved vertically downward until the openings receive the second portion of the legs, wherein the shelf deck is operable to removably disengage each of said legs by being moved vertically upward until the openings do not receive the second portion of the legs, and wherein there is a void space positioned between said legs, said shelf deck and said existing structure for providing access to said existing structure between said shelf deck and said existing structure when the shelf deck engages the pair of legs. 16. The add-on shelf of claim 15, wherein the at least one of said legs has a support structure comprising a front and a rear, wherein the locking structure comprises a first section that is coupled with and extends vertically downward from the front of the support structure, wherein the locking structure comprises a second section that extends from the first section toward the rear of the support structure, wherein at least a portion of the second section is collocated in a vertical plane with at least a portion of the support structure to define a slot positioned between the support structure and the first and second sections of the locking structure, wherein the slot is configured to receive at least a portion of an existing structure that is configured to removably lock said leg to the existing structure, and wherein no portion of the support structure extends below any portion of the first section of the locking structure.
