A shelf assembly for a refrigerator comprises upper and lower frames wherein the upper and lower frames enclose a peripheral edge of a supporting plate, each frame includes a groove to receive a sealing member, and the frames are preassembled through locking parts, and then fusion-bonded in the preassembled state. Accordingly, a waterproof effect and durability of the shelf assembly are improved.
