How do I prevent items from sliding off hutch shelves?

To prevent items from sliding off open hutch shelves, install a shelf lip or edging strip (typically 1/2–1 in. tall lip rail along the front edge of the shelf), use non-slip shelf liner mats (rubber or cork, cut to shelf width), or use bookends to keep items upright. These accessories are especially important in offices in seismic zones. OfficeFurniture2go.com can recommend appropriate shelf accessories — call 1-800-460-0858.
