1. An adaptable and expansible furniture system that comprises: at least two vertical supports spaced apart in parallel alignment, each of the supports comprising a rigid vertically elongated planar member having front and back side edges each lined with vertical arrays of spaced edge protrusions and spaced notches between the edge protrusions, and further comprising a protruding top tab having a transverse tab opening therethrough and a bottom support tab having a bottom tab receiving slot therein and a transverse cap opening therethrough to receive a protruding top tab from another vertical support in the tab receiving slot having the transverse cap opening and the transverse tab opening in alignment to receive a connector therethrough so that a plurality of vertical supports are stackable in a vertical array for a vertically expansible furniture structure; a top horizontal tie board and a bottom horizontal tie board each comprising a rigid elongated planar board having an attached vertical planar attaching member recessed from each end of the board and having a transverse connector opening through the vertical planar attaching member to receive one of the caps attached to the vertical planar attaching member with a connector attached through the transverse openings to rigidly support the vertical supports to form a furniture structure, wherein an additional horizontal tie board is attachable to an opposite side of the cap to enable horizontal arrays of the horizontal tie boards to expand the furniture structure horizontally; at least one horizontal shelf member having two spaced bottom edge recesses on each end so each shelf member slides into any aligned notches in the vertical supports and drops down onto the edge protrusions with the edge protrusions in the bottom edge recesses to support the at least one horizontal member at any required height.
