• some or all of the fixed walls (11-15) can be constituted by a flat plate, so as to simplify the construction of the body (10) and reduce its manufacturing cost.
• the body (10) is made of plastic material.
• the rear wall (12) can be provided with a system for attaching to a vertical support, such as a wall or a piece of furniture.
• the side walls (13, 14) can be shaped to serve as feet for the body (10), to place the box (1) on a horizontal support, when the box (1) is not hooked to the vertical support, or when the rear wall (12) has no attachment system.
