The sidewall adapter may include a body defining at least one ledge and a base plate coupled to the at least one ledge. The base plate may define at least one aperture configured to receive a tab on a glide assembly. At least two adjustable fasteners may be coupled to the cabinet liner and may be configured to mount the sidewall adapter to the cabinet liner. A shelf may be coupled to the glide assemblies such that the shelf is slideable within the cabinet liner. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A shelving system for an appliance, the shelving system comprising: a cabinet liner defining sidewalls, the cabinet liner defining an interior; opposing first and second sidewall adapters coupled to the sidewalls of the cabinet liner, the first and second sidewall adapters each comprising: a body defining vertically spaced ledges; and a base plate coupled to each of the ledges, the base plate defining at least one aperture receiving a tab on a glide assembly, wherein the base plate is configured to attract the glide assembly and a shelf is coupled to the glide assemblies such that the shelf is slideable fore and aft. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 1, wherein the vertically spaced ledges include a recess in an upper surface thereof, the recess dimensioned to receive the base plate. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 1, wherein the base plate defines the at least one aperture to include a first side and a second side, the second side wider than the first side. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 3, wherein the base plate is configured to receive the tab such that upon insertion of the tab into the aperture, the first side retains the tab at an underneath surface thereof. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 1, wherein the at least one magnet is disposed within the base plate. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 2, wherein the recess is dimensioned such that the base plate is generally level with the upper surface. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 1, wherein the shelf includes a retention feature configured to support a bottle in position. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 1, wherein the appliance is a cooling appliance. ### Claim 9 A shelving system for an appliance, the shelving system comprising: a sidewall adapter coupled to a side of a cabinet, the sidewall adapter comprising: a body defining at least one ledge; and a base plate coupled to the at least one ledge, wherein the base plate is configured to attract a glide assembly and a shelf is coupled to the glide assembly such that the shelf is slideable within the cabinet. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 9, wherein the at least one ledge includes a recess in an upper surface thereof, the recess dimensioned to receive the base plate. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 9, wherein the base plate defines at least one aperture receiving a tab on the glide assembly. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 11, wherein the base plate defines the at least one aperture to include a first side and a second side, the second side wider than the first side. ### Claim 13 A shelving system for an appliance, the shelving system comprising: a cabinet defining opposing sidewalls defining an interior; first and second sidewall adapters coupled to the opposing sidewalls of the cabinet, the first and second sidewall adapters each comprising: a body defining vertically spaced ledges; and a base plate coupled to each of the ledges, wherein a shelf is coupled to a glide assembly such that the shelf is slideable fore and aft. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 13, wherein the ledges each define an upper support surface generally perpendicular to a wall portion of the sidewall adapter and also define a sloping side surface that intersects the wall portion, thereby defining an angle with respect to the sloping side surface and the wall portion. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 13, wherein the vertically spaced ledges include a recess in the upper surface, the recess dimensioned to receive the base plate. ### Claim 16 (depends on 13) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 13, wherein the base plate defines at least one aperture receiving a tab on the glide assembly. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 13, wherein the base plate is configured to attract the glide assembly. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 16, wherein the base plate defines the at least one aperture to include a first side and a second side, the second side wider than the first side. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 15, wherein the recess is dimensioned such that the base plate is generally level with the upper surface. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The shelving system for an appliance of claim 13, wherein the appliance is a vacuum insulated cooling appliance.
