Abstract

A protective cover for the stepped-down shelf of a step-front cabinet is provided by a transparent plastic cover sheet, a pair of cover sheet supports which engage the cover sheet at its opposite ends, and a pair of forwardly-extending rods fixed to the cabinet. When the supports are slid onto the rods, the cover sheet cannot be removed. The cover sheet can be used in conjunction with a condiment tray situated on the shelf and held in engagement with a vertical panel of the cabinet by means of flanged bushings on the cabinet in engagement with keyhole slots in a rear wall of the tray. The protective cover overlies the rear wall of the tray when the cover is in place, and prevents the keyhole slots from being disengaged from the flanged bushings.
