The rear lower surface contact portion 1108 is formed by partially projecting the rear frame portion 1104 to the front side. The left lower surface contact portion 1109 is formed by partially projecting the left frame portion 1105 to the right. The right lower surface contact portion 1110 is formed by partially projecting the right frame portion 1106 to the left.

When inserting the plate portion 1101 into the frame portion 1102, first, the operator inserts the front portion of the plate portion 1101 into the frame portion 1102 while sliding the front portion of the plate portion 1101 from the rear. Then, the front, left, and right sides of the plate portion 1101 are pressed by the front lower surface contact portion 1107 , the left lower surface contact portion 1109 , and the right lower surface contact portion 1110 .

After that, the operator deforms the rear frame portion 1104 so as to be bent rearward. In addition, the operator deforms the rear portion of the frame portion 1102 so as to also bend upward. Thereby, the rear side of the plate portion 1101 is pressed by the rear lower surface contact portion 1108 .

Through the above-described steps, the plate portion 1101 is incorporated into the frame portion 1102 .

However, when the shelf member 1100 is manufactured by the above-mentioned method, there is a problem that a gap is formed in a part between the plate portion 1101 and the frame portion 1102, and the appearance is deteriorated.

Referring to Figure 11, a related problem is detailed. FIG. 11(A) is a bottom view showing the lower surface of the shelf member 1100, and FIG. 11(B) is a bottom view showing the right rear end of the shelf member 1100 in an enlarged manner.
