a cabinet defining an internal cavity;
a planar shelf (i) disposed within the internal cavity, (ii) having a front edge disposed along an opening to the internal cavity, (iii) having a rear edge positioned along a back of the internal cavity, (iv) having first and second opposing lateral sides extending between the front and rear edges, and (v) configured to support items disposed with the internal cavity;
an elongated support member having (i) a base secured to the rear edge of the planar shelf and (ii) a rail protruding upward from the base and extending in a direction from the first lateral side toward the second lateral side of the planar shelf; and
a bottle holder (i) disposed on a top of the planar shelf, (ii) slidably engaging the rail such that the bottle holder is slidable between the first and second opposing lateral sides, and (iii) defining a notch configured to engage bottles disposed on top of the planar shelf to restrict movement of the bottles along the top of the planar shelf, wherein (a) the bottle holder includes hooks, (b) the bottle holder includes resilient clips extending downward from the hooks, (c) the hooks engage the rail and extend over an upper end of the rail, and (d) the clips snap onto the base and extend under a lower end of the base to connect the bottle holder to the elongated support member such that (I) the engagement between the hooks and the rail facilitates movement of the bottle holder between the first and second opposing lateral sides of the planar shelf, (II) engagement between the hooks and the rail restricts movement of the bottle holder between the front and rear edges of the planar shelf, and (III) engagement between the clips and the base restricts vertical movement of the bottle holder relative to the elongated support member.
