An arched shelf assembly provides a pair of arched arms that carries multiple tiers of shelves and disperses forces associated with the load on the shelves. The assembly supports multiple tiers of tempered glass shelves in a stacked, spaced-apart relationship. The shelves are configured to carry a load. The arc shape of the assembly creates enhanced structural integrity by compressing stress forces from the load to the ground. The compression of these stress forces resolves forces into compressive stresses, thereby minimizing tensile stresses on the assembly. In essence, the arc works to transmit the stress forces to the ground. The assembly also pivotally articulates into a collapsed position for enhanced portability, collapsibility, disassembly, and assemblage. To enable hinged articulation, the assembly utilizes hinges, barrel hinges, and buckle hinges that enable hinged articulation of the support frame up to 90° and separation of the components of the assembly.
