A pair of brackets are attached at the top front corner of the side panels to which both the front panel and top panel are secured. The front panel screws into a projecting lip on said brackets, and the top panel slides rearwardly on the top edges of the side panels until a return flange on the top panel engages with a tab on the brackets to hold the top panel vertically.
