Shelves are more than just storage — they shape how your kitchen looks, feels, and functions. At RTI Cabinets, you can customize your cabinets with different shelf types depending on your design style, storage needs, and overall look.

Adjustable Shelving – Standard on All Cabinets

Every RTI cabinet comes with predrilled holes along the side panels and a set of shelf pins, meaning your shelves are adjustable, not fixed. You can move them up or down to create more space for tall items or organize your storage exactly the way you want.




1. No Shelf

  • Creates a completely open interior space — ideal for tall or oversized items.

  • Often chosen for specialty cabinets or when you plan to add custom inserts.

  • Best For: Pantries, tall storage, or custom organizers.

2. Standard Shelves (Box-Matching)

  • Made from the same material and finish as your cabinet box (White, Hardrock Maple, Dark Grey, Black Melamine, or Birch Plywood).

  • Seamlessly blends with your cabinet interiors.

  • Strong, durable, and built to hold heavy kitchen items with ease.

  • Best For: Everyday use — plates, bowls, pantry goods, cookware.

  • Made from 10mm thick glass for strength and stability.

  • Best For: Showcasing glassware, collectibles, or décor.
