So, I moved some boxes around and left some room on the sides and rear of the shelves and it did make a difference. Not sure if this will help you out Eric, but it did for me.

Ooops, I misread his post. It's unusual to have a higher RH in the bottom than in the top (based on my cabinet experiences).

That would make sense that overfilling a cabinet would impede the air flow since the humidifiers are typically located at the bottom of the humidor.

If there is more than one humidifier (which I doubt in this case) but for the larger cabinets, maybe locating one on a middle shelf might help if you have it packed full.

Just a thought.
