A panel for converting a cabinet (20) into unit specific storage. The cabinet conversion panel comprises a plurality of posts (21), rods (22) and or shelves (23) extending in a vertical, diagonal and or horizontal direction connected and fastened to create interconnected or intersecting lattice, square, rectangular, diamond, circular, herringbone, octagonal, triangular or other geometrical patterns with a frame surrounding and fastened to the operably connected partitions to complete the panel. The cabinet conversion panel also comprises insertable coasters (34-41) and interchangeable inserts (7-9, 14-15, 17, 47-48 and 50-51) to change the function, capacity and design of the panels. The cabinet conversion panel is sized for installation into standard cabinets (20). The panel is adapted so that when two or more of the panels are inserted into a cabinet (20), they will vertically support and hold various types of units including but not limited to wine bottles (26), plates (28), cups (29), dishware, stemware (27), shelves (23) and or other items.
