Karla, are you looking for a mullite shelf or a fiber shelf?

I am looking for the regular ceramic type; if that is mullite, then that is what I want....

I don't think mullite shelves come bigger than 20 by 20. Bigger would be too heav. You would need 2 people to put in and take out your shelf. That's why many people are using shelves made of fiberboard. Not sure where you would get them, but plenty of people here do know.
