Abstract
A skeleton frame has a pair of corner columns facing each other. An image forming apparatus includes a pair of support shafts protruding inward from respective inner side surfaces in the pair of corner columns, and an opening/closing member rotatably supported on a lower end portion by the pair of support shafts. A specific member moves horizontally from an outer side of the skeleton frame through between the pair of corner columns and is attached inside the skeleton frame. At least one of the pair of support shafts is also used as a guide portion that guides the specific member when the specific member is inserted into the skeleton frame through between the pair of corner columns.
