              a) a substantially flat, elongated member capable of                  
         transversely contacting said support wires of said wire rack;              
         and

                   1) attached transversely to said substantially flat,             
              elongated member;                                                     
                   2) sized to fit within one of the said rectangular               
              openings formed by said adjacent, parallel, spaced-apart              
              support rods and said adjacent, transverse, parallel spaced-          
              apart wires of said wire rack when said cleat is placed over          
              said one of said rectangular openings and moved directly              
              downward within said one of said rectangular openings; and            
                   3) extendable downward within said one of said                   
              rectangular openings sufficiently to bring said elongated             
              flat member in a resting position on said support wires.              
              2.  The shelf unit according to claim 1 further comprising a          
         second cleat, said second cleat;                                           
              1) attached transversely to said substantially flat,                  
         elongated member;                                                          
              2) sized to fit within a second one of said rectangular               
         openings formed by said adjacent, parallel, spaced-apart support           
         rods and said adjacent, transverse, parallel spaced-apart wires            
         of said wire rack when said second cleat is placed over said               
         second one of said rectangular openings and moved directly                 
         downward within said second one of said rectangular openings; and          
          3) extendable downward within said second one of said                     
         rectangular openings sufficiently to bring said elongated flat             
         member in a resting position on said support wires.                        
         5.  The shelf unit according to claim 1 wherein said cleat                 
         is capable of frictionally engaging said support wires.                    
              6.    The shelf unit according to claim 1 wherein said                
         essentially flat elongated member is formed from at least two              
         slats.
