In addition to this, they're also useful! A furniture kit will allow you to stack multiple shelves on top of one another in order to maximize the useable space when firing smaller pieces.If you have one that will fit this kiln size already, then you're in luck! But if not, you'll want to ensure you add this to your order as well.Furniture Kit includes: One (1) 7" x 7" Shelf Four (4) 1/2" Posts Kiln furniture can be special ordered separately, but if done so the cost is ~10-20% higher and will incur a separate shipping charge. It's best to include this on your initial order of the kiln.* Received shelves may contain surface imperfections such as scratches, discoloration or rough edge. These possible imperfections are understood and accepted by the buyer.
