Construction

Fixed Shelf

A shelf permanently secured within a cabinet, typically using dado joints or screws, that cannot be repositioned. Fixed shelves add structural rigidity to tall and wide cabinets by preventing the sides from bowing outward. Many cabinets include one fixed center shelf for structural support along with additional adjustable shelves above and below for flexible storage configuration.
