The components (20, 40, 41) are removably secured together by a plurality of flanges (30, 31, 81) and a plurality of flange receiving slots (42, 43, 72). The plurality of flanges (30, 31, 81) and the plurality of flange receiving slots (42, 43, 72) are individually and selectively formed in the shelf components (20, 40, 41) such that a selected one of the components having one of the flanges is removably secured to another selected component carrying one of the flange receiving slots by the flange being received within the flange receiving slots. Modular storage unit (10) can also include two spaced, parallel and opposing outer support end walls (12, 13), each end wall (12, 13) carrying a flange receiving slot (91) therein. A shelf component (11, 34) extends between the end walls (12, 13) and has a flange (90) on the side thereof, the flange being received within one of the flange receiving slots (91). Locking strips (100) having lip flanges (101, 102) thereon may be received in slots (110, 111) in the end walls (12, 13) and shelf assembly (11).
