Upright frames are made of two or more cross members mechanically assembled without screws or rivets to join the top and bottom (and center if necessary) of the post and form a rectangular upright frame. The post is made of 16-gauge 1 ¼” x 1 ½” rectangular shaped cold rolled steel. The post is slotted on each side at every one inch increment. The slots are 3/16” wide x 5/8” long and are designed to accommodate a variety of shelf and roll-out drawer configurations. The back of the post is also slotted at every 1 ½” increments. Posts are made of two rows of slots, side by side from top to bottom. Slots are 3/16” wide x 5/8” long, including 3/8” between the two rows. These slots are made of 16-gauge steel folded in a “U” shape channel at both ends with an integral safety “keeper” to the same time. Thus the uprights must allow for component integration on either 1” or 1 ½” increments depending only on the selected shelf component.
