Depicted photos indicate a floor standing rack, identified by you as a “shelf system.” The shelf system is assembled using twelve bolts. The shelf is composed of metal wire, bent and fabricated into decking, which is subsequently painted. The shelf is attached to the support structure of the rack without the use of any fasteners (i.e., bolts). The wire deck shelf is attached to the structural frame of the rack using a loop of wire that allows the shelf to be securely attached. You indicate that the floor standing rack is approximately 6-feet high by 3-feet wide by 20-inches deep and that each shelf is approximately 36-inches wide by 20-inches deep by 1.5-inches high. This floor standing rack is for display of your “nail products” within stores owned by your customers for purposes of ease of display and sale.
