Abstract

An improved housing structure for a large-size free-standing cabinet, and a method of making same. The housing structure employs an upright U-shaped side wall structure joined between top and bottom walls. The side wall structure employs a U-shaped metal skin which is formed in one piece so that the back and side walls are integrally joined together through rounded rear corners, with the front edges of the side walls also being rounded to form front integral edge strips which define the opposite sides of the front opening of the cabinet.
