Yes, but you can't see them very well; the metal fittings at the corners of
the shelves obscure them. But the collars are what's holding the shelf in
place. Those things which look like vertical pipes fit together, and you can
slide the plastic collars up or down on the pipes. The collars have a kind
of lip at the bottom and a couple of "ribs" on the inside. The pipes have
horizontal grooves into which the "ribs" fit. When you have the collars at
the height where you want the shelf, you slide the entire shelf assembly
down the pipes until the corners of the shelf engage the collars. The
collars are tapered at the top, so that when the shelf assembly is slid onto
a collar, the whole thing is wedged into place. You can see a little more
detail if you click on the "MORE IMAGES" tab until you see a detail of a
corner fitting. In that picture, you can just barely see the plastic collar
sticking out at the bottom of the corner fitting.
