Description

  The present invention relates to cabinets.

  On the upper side of a tall cabinet, it may be more difficult to remove articles such as tableware placed on the rear side (rear side) than on the lower side. For this reason, there has been known a cabinet in which the dimension in the front-rear direction (depth direction) on the upper side is smaller than the dimension in the front-rear direction on the lower side (for example, see Patent Document 1). In such a cabinet, the front surface on the upper side is arranged at a position in which it enters the rear side from the front surface on the lower side.

  Further, as a tall cabinet, a cabinet provided with a door such as a sliding door over the entire height of the front surface is known (for example, see Patent Document 2). In such a cabinet, the longitudinal dimension of an article storage section such as a shelf provided on the upper side is made smaller than the longitudinal dimension of an article storage section such as a shelf or a drawer provided on the lower side. In some cases, it is easy to take out articles stored in the rear side of the article storage section on the upper side.
