Abstract

The invention relates to a rotatable shelf bottom that has a tablet function ( 1 ) and is composed of a shell which is rotatably mounted on the bottom side ( 5 b ) of a bottom part ( 5 ). The shell comprises a bottom part ( 5 ) and a frame ( 1 a ) which are positively glued together by means of an adhesive duct that is filled with an adhesive. A frame ( 1 a ) is substantially L-shaped, forms part of the bottom side ( 5 ) of the bottom part ( 5 ) at the outer edge, and is removably placed on the top side of horizontal furniture components ( 30 ) located inside or outside a furniture carcass.
