1. A shelf assembly comprising:

  • a first support unit;

    a stationary hinge body fixed to the first support unit;

    a rotating hinge body rotatably coupled to the stationary hinge body;

    a first shelf fixed to the rotating hinge body that is rotatable with the rotating hinge body relative to the stationary hinge body about a rotational axis, the first shelf being rotatable between a first position and a second position;

    a cam assembly configured to inhibit rotation of the first shelf between its first position and second position, the cam assembly including;

    a cam that is fixed to one of the stationary hinge body and rotating hinge body;

    a cam follower slidingly coupled to the other of the stationary hinge body and rotating hinge body such that the cam follower is slidable along the rotational axis; and

    a biasing member that biases the cam follower into engagement with the cam;

    a second support unit that is separate from the first support unit;

    a second shelf coupled to the second support unit; and

    a coupling mechanism that couples the first support unit and second support unit to each other to inhibit relative movement between the first support unit and second support unit.
