In this case, since the first extending portions and the second extending portions of the plurality of horizontal rods are connected by the vertical rods in the regions where the extension direction does not change, the frame can be The overall rigidity can be efficiently increased.

The second extension may extend substantially horizontally in a direction crossing the extension direction of the first extension from both end regions in the extension direction of the first extension.

In this case, even when the panel body has a substantially U-shape or a substantially U-shape in plan view and the extension length of the first extension portion is long, the rigidity of the entire frame is sufficiently maintained. becomes possible.

It is preferable that the first extending portion and the second extending portion are connected by a curved portion.

In this case, even when a person or an object comes into contact with the lateral rod portion from the outside, the person or the object is less likely to be hurt or damaged.

The furniture main body may be connected to the vertical rod connecting the first extensions of the horizontal rods and the vertical rod connecting the second extensions of the horizontal rods.

In this case, it is possible to further increase the rigidity of the connecting portion between the fixture body and the frame, thereby further suppressing rattling of the panel body.

In the fixture with panels according to the present invention, since the vertical rod connects the plurality of horizontal rods at a portion other than the bent or curved portion of the horizontal rod in a plan view, the panel body is bent or curved. When a person or an object comes into contact with the cut portion from the outside, the vertical rod can prevent the person or the object from being hurt or damaged.
