Instead, Wolf suggests stacking only three to four pieces together. This gives you easy access to each item, ensuring you can enjoy all your serveware equally. She also recommends adjusting the shelving in your entertainment closet, a process that’s fairly straightforward if your cabinet is equipped with pin holes (the vertical rows of evenly-spaced holes drilled into the cabinet sides). Wolf says it’s better to have less vertical space between the shelves to accommodate smaller stacks, even if it requires installing extra shelves. If your shelves are fixed, however, you can use shelf risers to achieve the same level of organization.
