A sliding shelf assembly for a refrigerator appliance is provided. The sliding shelf assembly includes a shelf support frame that is slidably mounted inside the chilled chamber of the refrigerator appliance. A connecting arm couples the shelf support frame to the door such that the shelf support frame slides out of the chilled chamber as the door is opened. Moreover, the shelf support frame slidably receives refrigerator shelves that may slide independently of the shelf support frame. The sliding shelf assembly thereby simplifies storage on the refrigerator shelves, improves accessibility of the chilled chamber, and improves consumer satisfaction with the refrigerator appliance.

The invention concerns an ergonomic storage unit having at least one retractable container; and a mechanism configured to displace the at least one retractable container between two positions: a stowed position in which the retractable container is stowed in the storage unit; and an ergonomic position in which the retractable container is positioned in front of the storage unit and at a height which is different from that of the stowed position, in a manner such that the retractable container is more accessible as regards to height compared with the stowed position. The mechanism is configured to support the weight of the retractable container by distributing the weight on either side of the mechanism in the width direction of the retractable container, thereby establishing lateral access to the retractable container in the ergonomic position.
