A shelf device, in particular a shower shelf, for being mounted in a room corner realized by two lateral walls which are in particular disposed perpendicularly to each other, the two lateral walls each comprising at least one tile pair which are each laid on one of the lateral walls, the two tile pairs being separated from each other, in particular, by a vertical maintenance joint which runs in the room corner and the two tiles of the two tile pairs forming a common narrow gap which runs horizontally, in particular a joint, said shelf device comprising shelf and/or receiving elements for receiving and, in particular horizontally, holding objects put thereon, in particular soap storage containers, by a shelf surface realized by the shelf and/or receiving elements and comprising fixing elements associated with the shelf and/or receiving elements for fixing and/or bedding the shelf device in the room corner by engagement into one of the two or into the tow lateral walls, the shelf and/or receiving elements being designed in a planar manner to realize the shelf surface, the fixing elements being realized in such a manner by at least one bedding portion of the shelf and/or receiving elements which is provided on an edge side that the bedding portion is insertable into the narrow gap which runs horizontally, in particular the joint, and an edge protection or equivalent protective body for protecting persons from injuries and/or for delimiting the upper shelf surface being associated with all outsides which do not comprise a bedding portion, characterized in that the edge protection is realized by a one-piece component, the one-piece component having a constant symmetrical cross-sectional area which is round in order to avoid all outwardly inclined edges and extending along one of the outsides of the shelf and/or receiving elements, the radius of the cross-sectional area being selected in such a manner that the shelf surface clearly protrudes in the vertical direction. said shelf device comprising shelf and/or receiving elements for receiving and, in particular horizontally, holding objects put thereon, in particular soap storage containers, by a shelf surface realized by the shelf and/or receiving elements and comprising fixing elements associated with the shelf and/or receiving elements for fixing and/or bedding the shelf device in the room corner by engagement into one of the two or into the tow lateral walls, the shelf and/or receiving elements being designed in a planar manner to realize the shelf surface, the fixing elements being realized in such a manner by at least one bedding portion of the shelf and/or receiving elements which is provided on an edge side that the bedding portion is insertable into the narrow gap which runs horizontally, in particular the joint, and an edge protection or equivalent protective body for protecting persons from injuries and/or for delimiting the upper shelf surface being associated with all outsides which do not comprise a bedding portion, characterized in that the edge protection is realized by a one-piece component, the one-piece component having a constant symmetrical cross-sectional area which is round in order to avoid all outwardly inclined edges and extending along one of the outsides of the shelf and/or receiving elements, the radius of the cross-sectional area being selected in such a manner that the shelf surface clearly protrudes in the vertical direction.
