In one example aspect, the cascading basket system includes a first basket connected to a door and movable together forward and backward, a second basket positioned above the first basket, and a third basket positioned above the second basket. The cascading basket system includes features that allow a user to pull out the baskets as a single unit and in a cascading manner by moving the door forward. As one example, the first and second baskets can define pocket recesses configured to receive rollers of the seconds and third baskets respectively to engage the baskets. As another example, the first and second baskets can include protruding ribs that receive bosses of the seconds and third baskets respectively to engage the baskets. In another example, the baskets can include magnets to move the baskets forward together as a single unit.
