ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The invention provides a combination of a post and an end connector for use in a rack system to support shelves and the like. The posts have first and second side ribs extending longitudinally and centre portions extend between the side ribs. Each centre portion defines longitudinally spaced slots and the side ribs are dis- posed symmetrically to either side of the centre portions. The end connector has a channel shape adapted to fit snugly over a side rib of one of the posts. Coupling elements extend from the channel shape and each has a cantilever portion and a downward projection dependent from an end of the cantilever portion. The projection defines a rearward face inclined downwardly and rearward- ly for engagement with a rearward side of the centre portion of the post after engaging the coupling element in the post. Consequently a downward force on the end connector will result in a wedging action as the rear- ward faces of coupling elements ride on the centre por- tion thereby drawing the end connector into firm and snug engagement with the corresponding side rib of the post.
