The shelf 40 serves to support and store the storage articles according to size or type.

However, since the refrigerator shelf 40 according to the related art is formed in the shape of a rectangular plate, in order to store the storage articles formed in the vertical direction, any one of the shelves 40 can be completely withdrawn from the refrigerator body 10 . At this time, the shelf 40 drawn out from the refrigerator body 10 must be stored separately from the outside. When stored in a separate place, there is a risk that the shelf is easily lost and easily damaged by an external impact.
