Schematic of a cabinet with desiccant dehumidifier. The design uses 2 piles with rock salt to increase the surface area; also the sides are a better place to put the rock salt/sponge/mesh; putting it in the center for example could give problems when filling the cabinets. Also, the salt needs to be placed at the very top to be most effective; this as humid air is more dense and will this rise to above the dry air layer, see following references:
