A latch for latching a folding shelf having compartments to a cabinet having a pivotal cover is disclosed. A rectangular shelf stop downwardly projects from the transverse inner edge of the shelf and has a latch stop projecting forwardly of the shelf stop. The latch is affixed to a shaft which is pivotally supported in a holder mounted within the cabinet. To the shaft is affixed a handle for rotating the latch into engagement with and out of engagement with the shelf stop. When the handle is swung upwardly, it contacts a vertical handle position stop on the outer surface of the rear wall of the cabinet and the latch is pivotally moved by the shaft to the horizontal unlatched position. When the handle is swung downwardly, the latch contacts the shelf stop to secure the shelf in horizontal, latched position relative to the cabinet. The cabinet rear wall is configured to provide a handle access clearance space to facilitate pivotal movement of the handle for engaging and disengaging the latch.
