Abstract
A quick-assembly storage unit comprises a back panel, a pair of side panels, a top panel, a bottom panel and at least one shelf member. In one embodiment, the unit includes door panels that are hingedly attached to the side panels. The back, side, top, and bottom panels are each configured to have a particular structure that provides a tight-fitting relationship between all interconnecting panels. Each of the shelf members are configured to have a particular structure that provides a tight-fitting relationship between each shelf member and the side panels and between each shelf member and the back panel. The structure and interconnection of the back, side, top, and bottom panels and shelf members provide the quick-assembly storage unit with a relatively high degree of structural integrity. The quick-assembly storage unit can be quickly assembled by the end user or consumer with a minimal amount of tools.
