1. A combination shelf which includes: at least four column units, at least two storage layers, and multiple clips; each of the least four column units is positioned at each corner of each storage layer; each of the clips secures each corner of each storage layer to one respective column unit; each of the column units consists of a pair of vertical poles arranged in parallel and connected by multiple connections; both ends of each of the multiple connections links each of the pair of the vertical poles; each of the multiple clips has a vertical groove with two wings respectively attached to both sides of an opening of the vertical groove; outer faces of the two wings are bevels and lower ends of the two wings protrude outward; each of the multiple clips is embedded into one of the vertical poles and supported by one of the connections; each vertical groove is facing one of the storage layers;
wherein the two wings of each clip are located at the lower half of the opening of the respective vertical groove; each clip further has a horizontally extending groove at a lower end of each clip; each of the connections of the column units is inserted into one of the horizontally extending grooves of the clips to secure the respective clip; each corner of each storage layer has an outward-opening U-shaped fastener; each side of a lower half of each outward-opening U-shaped fastener has a top pusher extending towards the storage layer; each top pusher is a bevel and protrudes from a lower end of each top pusher to an upper end of each top pusher; each of the outward-opening U-shaped fasteners covers the corresponding clip and inner faces of the two top pushers of each outward-opening U-shaped fastener press against outer faces of the wings of the corresponding clip when securing the corresponding storage layer to one of the column units; by fitting together the corresponding bevels of the top pushers and the two wings, the clips and the fasteners press against each other and therefore clamp the respective vertical pole.
