Abstract
A cabinet includes a frame, having a top pan and a bottom pan, and a pair of sides coupled to the top pan and the bottom pan to form the frame. A shelf is adjustably mounted in the frame in one of a substantially level or a slanted orientation. The shelf has a plurality of shelf openings therethrough on a shelf face, the shelf openings configured to provide multiple lateral subsection configurations. A plurality of divider rods sized to be accommodated in the pan openings and shelf openings, the divider rods configured to divide the frame into the multiple lateral subsections.

A cabinet, comprising:
- a frame, comprising a top pan and a bottom pan, and a pair of side panels coupled to the top pan and the bottom pan to form the frame;
- a shelf mountable in the frame, the shelf having a plurality of shelf openings therethrough on a shelf face, the shelf openings provided in an irregular pattern to allow multiple lateral subsection configurations with different partition widths for storage of different sizes of product, the irregular pattern comprising a set of unequally spaced openings that allows configuration of partition widths that divide the shelf laterally into a plurality of different sets of equal width openings;
- and
- a plurality of straight divider rods sized to be accommodated in the shelf openings, the divider rods configured to span the top pan to the bottom pan of the frame to divide the frame into the multiple lateral subsections.

A method of assembling a cabinet, comprising:
- assembling a frame comprising a top pan and a bottom pan, and a pair of side panels coupled to the top pan and the bottom pan;
- mounting a shelf in grooves in each of the pair of side panels of the frame, the shelf having a plurality of shelf openings therethrough on a shelf face, the shelf openings provided in an irregular pattern allow multiple lateral subsection configurations with different partition widths for storage of different sizes of product, the irregular pattern comprising a set of unequally spaced openings that allows configuration of partition widths that divide the shelf laterally into a plurality of different sets of equal width openings;
- and
- mounting a plurality of straight divider rods into matching shelf openings to span the top pan to the bottom pan of the frame and to divide the frame into the multiple lateral subsections.

A cabinet, comprising:
- a frame, comprising a top pan and a bottom pan, and a pair of side panels coupled to the top pan and the bottom pan to form the frame, the top pan and the bottom pan having a plurality of pan openings therethrough, the pan openings provided in an irregular pattern to provide multiple lateral subsection configurations in the frame with different partition widths for storage of different sizes of product regardless of shelf orientation, the irregular pattern comprising a set of unequally spaced openings that allows configuration of partition widths that divide the shelf laterally into a plurality of different sets of equal width openings;
- a shelf adjustably mounted in the frame adjustable to a substantially level orientation or to a slanted orientation, the shelf having a plurality of shelf openings therethrough on a shelf face, the shelf openings matching the irregular pattern of the pan openings, wherein the shelf has a lip extending laterally from a first side to an opposite second side, the lip extending substantially perpendicular to the shelf face;
- a plurality of divider rods sized to be accommodated in a same opening of the pan openings and the shelf openings, the divider rods configured to span the top pan to the bottom pan of the frame and to divide the frame into the multiple lateral subsections;
- a top fascia coupled to and covering a top of the top pan, the top fascia comprising a solid piece;
- and
- a bottom fascia coupled to and covering a bottom of the bottom pan, the bottom fascia comprising a solid piece.
