Abstract: A refrigerator shelving system includes a primary shelf, a secondary shelf, hangers, and nests. The hangers movably secure the secondary shelf to the primary shelf. The hangers also position the secondary shelf below the primary shelf. The nests are configured to secure the secondary shelf to the primary shelf in a stowed position. The nests include housings and magnets that are vertically slidable within the housings. The magnets are configured to engage the hangers to maintain the secondary shelf in the stowed position. Vertical positions of the magnets are variable within the housing to compensate for variations in positions of the hangers.
