9. The storage system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the one or more modular shelves is configured with a second one or more cut-out portions at a rear face of the one or more modular shelves and extending towards a front portion of the one or more modular shelves, respectively.

10. The storage system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the first at least one cut-out portion of the one or more modular shelves is configured with an elevated rim portion facilitating accommodation of a thicker cut-out complimentary cover member.

11. The storage system in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the one or more modular shelves is reinforced by reinforcing elements articulated or integrated with the one or more modular shelves.

12. A modular shelf for use with a storage system of claim 1 , the modular shelf comprising at least one cut-out portion extending from a front face of the modular shelf towards a rear portion of the modular shelf, the cut-out portion being defined within the modular shelf between two side walls extending parallel to one another and at a right angle with respect to the front face of the modular shelf, a rear wall substantially parallel to the front face of the modular shelf, and an opening at the front face of the modular shelf, at least each of the side walls of the cut-out being configured with a lateral projection;
