Description

Locker

The invention relates to a storage cabinet, in particular to a storage cabinet with a flat appearance.

Kitchens are generally equipped with cabinets such as floor cabinets, hanging cabinets, kitchen counters, etc., to be used as kitchen utensils for storing pots, tableware, knives and the like. The traditional kitchen cabinet design is based on function, that is, the design of the kitchen cabinet mainly considers the durability or practicality of the kitchen cabinet, not the aesthetics. Therefore, even if the handle protruding from the door panel may hinder the aesthetics of the kitchen cabinet, designers often add a handle protruding from the door panel to the door panel of the kitchen cabinet to facilitate users to open the door panel with less effort through the handle. However, since the kitchen is often designed as part of the living room and the design of the open kitchen, users' requirements for the beauty of the kitchen cabinet will increase day by day. Therefore, in addition to the existing durability and practicality, the design focus of the kitchen cabinet must also take into account The overall appearance of the kitchen cabinet.

In addition, because the use of floor cabinets and ceiling cabinets is very different, the floor cabinets are placed on the ground, and the ceiling cabinets are installed high on the wall.
