A shelf includes a bottom plate, a vertical plate, and a side plate. The bottom plate and the vertical plate are pivotally connected through a pivot mechanism and a first restricting mechanism that are disposed at a pivot joint of the bottom plate and the vertical plate. The pivot mechanism includes a rotating shaft disposed on the bottom plate and a first engaging hook disposed on the vertical plate. The first engaging hook is configured to catch the rotating shaft. The first restricting mechanism is configured to restrict a maximum unfolding angle of the bottom plate and the vertical plate. A second restricting mechanism is provided between the side plate and the vertical plate. The shelf simplifies installation steps and reduces installation and transportation costs.
