The invention relates to a refrigerating appliance, especially a household refrigerating appliance, comprising a refrigerating and / or freezing compartment having a rear wall (3, 23, 53), a door and lateral walls (1, 2, 21, 22, 41, 51, 71). At least one lateral wall (1, 2, 21, 22, 41, 51, 71) comprises at least one guiding element along which at least one compartment bottom (4, 24, 42, 54) can be pulled out like a drawer. According to the invention, each lateral wall comprises at least one holding projection (5, 6, 7, 8, 25, 26, 27, 28, 43, 55, 56, 500, 76) on which the compartment bottom can be supported in such a way that it can be moved towards the door in the pull-out direction (90). At least one guiding element (9, 10, 31, 32, 46, 47, 61, 81) is arranged against at least one holding projection or at least one lateral wall, said guiding element only extending along part of the entire depth of the respective lateral wall (1, 2, 21, 22, 41, 51, 71) and limiting the perpendicular or transversal movement of the compartment bottom mounted on the holding projections, especially in relation to the direction (90) of movement thereof.
