1. A structural system for modular construction of shelves, comprising:
a set of elongate vertical supports, each vertical support having at least one axially extending row of holes;
a set of frames, each frame of the set of frames having four struts, of which two struts are connected to one another via a mounting corner piece of the frame; and
a set of connectors, each connector of the set of connectors being configured to be inserted into a hole of a respective vertical support of the set of vertical supports and secured to a respective mounting corner piece of the mounting corner pieces of a respective frame of the set of frames,
wherein the structural system is configured such that, in an assembled state,
at least one frame of the set of frames is secured by mounting corner pieces of the at least one frame to four vertical supports via respective connectors,
two respective neighboring vertical supports that are connected to one another via one of the struts of the at least one frame define a support plane, and
the four struts of the at least one frame lie outside the support planes defined by the four vertical supports connected to the frame.
