Abstract

A support structure has a number of posts with flanges and slots formed in the flanges. The support structure also has a number of aprons with end tabs that are inserted into respective post flange slots. A gap defined by the apron end tabs and an edge of the apron creates an interference flit with a slot lip of the flange slot. The disclosed interlock of the aprons to the posts creates a stable support structure that has aesthetic value. The disclosed interlock further provides the capability of creating various support structures (e.g., shelving assemblies, workbenches, cabinets, storage assemblies).
