However, the distance is sufficient to cover the folded portions (7a), (7b), and (7c).

At the lower end of the decorative panel (9), a horizontal bent portion (9d) bent inward at a right angle by the same length as the horizontal bent portion (9a) described above, and a horizontal bent portion is bent upward at a right angle. And a short vertical bent portion (9e).

Similarly, the lower end of the upper decorative panel (8) corresponds to the folded portion (7a) (7b) (7c) of the above-mentioned panel material (7) which is folded three times. Horizontal bent portion (8a) bent inward at a right angle, a vertical bent portion (8b) bent upward at a right angle from this portion, and a short horizontal bent portion (8c) further bent outward at a right angle
Are formed.

The length of the horizontally bent portion (8b) of the decorative panel (8) is longer than the length of the horizontally bent portion (7b) of the panel material (7) by a distance (d), and this distance (d) is: Panel material
Even if the thickness of the fabric attached to (7) is thick, that is, even if the thickness of the finished surface (6) is thick, the folded portions (8a), (8b), and (8c)
However, the distance is sufficient to cover the folded portions (7a), (7b), and (7c).

At the upper end of the decorative panel (8), a horizontal bent portion (8d) bent inward at a right angle by the same length as the above-mentioned horizontal bent portion (8a), and then bent upward at a right angle. And a short vertical bent portion (8e).

The folded portions (8a) (8) of the decorative panels (8) and (9)
b) (8c), (9a), (9b), and (9c) are engaged with the upper and lower bent portions (7a), (7b), and (7c) of the panel material (7), and are screwed with bolts (10). When stopped, the front panel (3) shown in FIG. 3 is completed.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a main body panel (4) attached to the front surface of the left and right leg panels (2) has a lower part (in these figures shown in an inverted state, it is shown in an upper part). ) Is formed with a stepped portion (11) consisting of a bent portion (11a) which is vertically bent at a short length and which is bent at a right angle, and a portion (11b) which extends horizontally forward from this portion. The step portion (11) has such a size that the horizontal bent portion (9d) and the vertical bent portion (9e) of the decorative panel (9) overlap.

The upper portion (shown below in FIGS. 4 and 5) has a vertical surface portion (12a) and a short horizontally extending portion (12b) bent inward from this portion. A contact portion (12) is formed.
