In order to achieve the above object, according to the present invention, an opening is formed in a wall defining a bathroom, and a storage box having a substantially U-shaped cross section is fitted into the opening. A waterproof treatment is performed between the storage box and the wall opening in a liquid-tight manner, and a transparent body is disposed in a liquid-tight manner at the bathroom-side opening of the storage box, and a general-purpose body is provided in the storage box. It is characterized in that a power outlet and an antenna connection terminal of a television receiver, an audio device and the like are arranged and a television or the like is installed in a bathroom.

In this case, according to the present invention, it is desirable that the storage box is configured to be expandable and contractible in accordance with the depth dimension of the stored television receiver or audio equipment.

Further, according to the present invention, the storage box can store small articles other than the television receiver and the audio equipment, for example, small articles such as a remote controller, a clock, and a mobile phone. It is also possible to provide a door capable of opening and closing the accessory chamber in a liquid-tight manner at the bathroom-side opening of the accessory storage chamber.
