Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A storage apparatus comprising: 
 a shelf; and    a shelf support structure supporting the shelf fully assembled and/or installed, wherein at least a part of the storage apparatus is formed of a full hard steel material.    
   
   
       2 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the shelf support structure is formed of the full hard steel material.  
   
   
       3 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein at least part of the shelf is formed of a full hard steel material.  
   
   
       4 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a free-standing shelving unit and the shelf support structure includes a plurality of vertical legs each formed of the full hard steel material.  
   
   
       5 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of the shelves, wherein at least part of each shelf is formed of the full hard steel material.  
   
   
       6 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the apparatus is a wall mounted unit and the shelf support structure includes a plurality of mounting brackets each constructed of the full hard steel material and mounted to a wall surface supporting the shelf.  
   
   
       7 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the plurality of mounting brackets are each mounted directly to a wall surface.  
   
   
       8 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 6 , wherein the shelf support structure further includes a plurality of uprights each formed of the full hard steel material and mounted to a wall surface, and wherein the plurality of mounting brackets are mounted to the plurality of uprights in a cantilevered arrangement.  
   
   
       9 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 8 , further including a horizontal top rail formed from the full hard steel material and mounted to a wall surface, wherein the plurality of risers are suspended from the top rail.  
   
   
       10 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the full hard steel material meets the ASTM A 109 Temper No. 1 (Hard) standard or the Asian JIS G3141 SPCC-1D standard.  
   
   
       11 . A storage apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the shelf support structure includes components formed having 3-dimensional drawn or bent formations, wherein the components are formed of the full hard steel material.  
   
   
       12 . An organizer system comprising: 
 a plurality of shelves;    a horizontal top support rail mounted to a wall;    a plurality of upright risers suspended from the top support rail and mounted to the wall, each of the plurality of upright risers having a plurality of mounting openings; and    a plurality of shelf mounting brackets mounted to the upright risers using selected ones of the openings,    wherein the horizontal top support rail, the plurality of upright risers, and the plurality of shelf mounting brackets are at least partially formed from a full hard steel material meeting the ASTM A 109 Temper No. 1 (Hard) material standard or the JIS G3141 SPCC-1D material standard.
