Does the subwoofer have to be on the floor?

I plan on putting a home theater in my library. Ideally I would like to place the sub on the bottom most shelf of a cabinet, since all my walls are covered by shelves/cabinets. Also, the bottom most shelf still has two draws below it, would that interfere with the sound? The shelves and draws are very solid cherry wood.

Its usually bad to put a sub in any cabinet. Just like it can be a problem putting a sub in a corner. Not only will it shake what's on the shelves, you will get resonance problems (you are putting it into another box). The only way around that is with an equalizer.
Can you put the sub on top of the cabinet? It may be more open up there?
