A shelving system having a top, bottom and intermediate shelves mounted on vertical supports. The intermediate shelves are mounted on adjustable brackets that permit individual removal of the intermediate shelves without disturbing the top and bottom shelves. The adjustable brackets comprise at one end a pin that is adapted to be inserted into a series of apertures formed along the length of each support. Opposite the pin, a mounting member is sized and shaped to receive a corner of each shelf. A stop is formed on the bracket between the pins and mounting member.

The bracket of claim 1, wherein the first portion is elongated along a longitudinal axis and the stop is disposed perpendicular to the axis. 6. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the stop has an outboard surface and the hook extends from the outboard surface of the stop. 7. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the shape of the aperture is asymmetric. 8. The bracket of claim 1, wherein the cross-section of the first portion is configured so that the first portion can be received within the aperture only in a single orientation. 9. A bracket for supporting a shelf on a support post having an aperture with a non-circular cross-section, the bracket comprising: a first portion having a cross-section corresponding to the cross-section of the aperture and configured to be removably received within the aperture in the support post;a second portion extending away from the first portion and configured to protrude from the aperture and to support the shelf; anda stop disposed between the first portion and the second portion to limit an amount of insertion of the bracket within the aperture, wherein the stop has opposed first and second sides and the first portion extends from the first side of the stop and the second portion extends from the second side of the stop. 10. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the second portion comprises a cross-section that is different in shape from the cross-section of the first portion. 11. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the second portion comprises a hook. 12. The bracket of claim 11, wherein the stop has an outboard surface and the hook extends from the outboard surface of the stop. 13. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the first portion is elongated along a longitudinal axis and the cross-section of the first portion is constant along the longitudinal axis. 14. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the first portion is elongated along a longitudinal axis and the stop is disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. 15. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the bracket is formed as a one-piece structure. 16. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the first portion comprises a protrusion configured to be removably received within the aperture. 17. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the shape of the aperture is asymmetric. 18. The bracket of claim 9, wherein the cross-section of the first portion is configured so that the first portion can be received within the aperture only in a single orientation. 19. A bracket for supporting a shelf on a support post having an aperture with a non-circular cross-section, the bracket comprising: a first portion having a constant cross-section along its entire length corresponding to the cross-section of the aperture and configured to be removably received within the aperture in the support post; anda second portion extending away from the first portion and configured to protrude from the aperture and to support the shelf; anda third portion disposed between the first portion and the second portion and having first and second opposed sides, wherein the first portion abuts the first side of the third portion and the second portion abuts the second side of the third portion and the third portion is configured to limit an amount of insertion of the bracket within the aperture. 20. The bracket of claim 19, wherein at least a part of the third portion extends beyond the cross-section of the first portion. 21. The bracket of claim 19, wherein the cross-section of the first portion is configured so that the first portion can be received within the aperture only in a single orientation. 22. The bracket of claim 19, wherein the bracket is formed as a one-piece structure. 23. The bracket of claim 19, wherein the first portion comprises a protrusion configured to be removably received within the aperture. 24. The bracket of claim 19, wherein the first portion is elongated along a longitudinal axis and the cross-section of the first portion is constant along the longitudinal axis. 25. The bracket of claim 19, wherein the shape of the aperture is asymmetric. 26.
