A two part shelf for use in a refrigerator and preferably in a freezer compartment of a refrigerator has at least four shelf members mounted to the cabinet for supporting the two part shelf assembly. The two part shelf has a main shelf portion and an auxiliary shelf portion. The main shelf portion has a frame that supports a shelf floor that preferably extends from the rear wall towards an open front and partially across the width of the refrigerator cabinet. The main shelf portion has a rear frame member supported by at least two shelf support members and extends across the width of the cabinet beyond the width of the shelf floor. The auxiliary shelf portion has a second frame for supporting a second shelf floor. The second load supporting floor extends from the rear wall towards the open front and extends from one of the side walls towards the first load supporting floor of the main shelf portion. The second frame of the auxiliary shelf has a forward portion mounted by at least one of the shelf supports to the other side wall and the second frame is supported by the rear frame member to the first frame adjacent the rear wall. Studs are utilized to interconnect the two floors and support the frames of the main and the auxiliary shelf portions.
