How many shelves and can you fit dinner plates inside
1078194
Good morning! There is one shelf placed about midway inside the cabinet about 7" ht. above the shelf and 8" ht. below. As you can see from the photo this cabinet is curved and the depth is greatest near the center which is about 11 1/2" deep. There would be room enough for two stacks of dinner plates and probably enough on either side for smaller dishes. Don't know how much weight this shelf would support though. It is a beautiful cabinet. Saw the other answer and could not disagree more. Have received many compliments on my cabinet which sits in the foyer and arrived in perfect condition. Hope that helps!

1 Shelf, fits a fair amount. Quality very questionable. Drawer arrived broken. Very flimsy. Would not purchase again.

It has one shelf. Yes, you can fit dinner plates inside it. The widest area inside it is 12 inches both top and bottom shelf.

My portmeirion dinner plates can fit stacked up but it's tight. I have to twist them sideways to get them in, then they lay almost flat in the cubbyholes below. They stick out just a bit in the upper shelf.

this may not help as this rack was a gift. The plates were middle sized - not dinner plates and not dessert plates - in between. Very nice rack that worked well in her dining room. I keep thinking the plates were 8"

I think you might get 12 plates but not 16. There is not room for 16 bowls either.

There are six slots. You could put three cake plates in one slot, probably two bowls, three dinner plates. I don't use these for dishes, but rather for craft materials. Hope this helps.

If your cabinets are average size, they will not fit. Mine are open, so no problem. I love the plates, but they are larger than the average ones.

I am sure you could. I have oversized dinner plates and they fit nicely. I was able to fit 8 of them in there no problem.

The depth of the shelf is 9 1/2 " so your 11" plates will not fit. Sorry. They are 22" long

You can fit 3 dinner size plates on it. It's actually quite nice for the price and very solid.

Not for sure on inches, there pretty thin. yes you could defiantly put more inserts or even plates in there if you want

You can space however you wish but make sure you dont make the top too heavy. You can do as few or as many shelfs as you wish.

I don't think it is deep enough to hold plates, but could hold smaller dishes. It is smaller than it looks in the picture, so check the measurements. I use it for DVD storage in the living room and it works great. It is very pretty and well made.

I would say yes but you only have two shelves inside, so you want fit many unless you stack them up.

This shelf will serve you well. I have six heavy ceramic 10.5 in plates on the top shelf as well as a ceramic serving platter.On the second shelf I have two sets of four i.e. eight, 8.5 inch plates. There is not even a slight bend of the shelf.

On the outside, it is almost 10 on the inside. My dinner plates it sits on the top of them not over them.

The inside carrying space is actually 18" x 12" When I put 2 dinner plates on it, they overlap a tad. Not really a big deal considering I looked everywhere and could not find a bigger tray. I do love the tray though.

I am traveling now but this answer is accurate Smaller than the average plate. One tray is larger than the other for storage purposes. Even the bigger of the too plates was too small for my dinner ware. Jenna M. answered on July 3, 2014
