One-piece cabinet pedestal

摘要

A low cost cabinet pedestal wherein at least the top and side walls are formed from a single piece of material without the need for any additional stiffening members such as vertical rails for drawer slides, or any other internal strengthening members. The bottom of the low cost pedestal can also be formed from the same single sheet of material and a base panel can be added for rigidity. The top, bottom, and side walls can have flanged members at the edges thereof, and overlapping portions of the flanged members at corners of the pedestal can be rigidly joined together to provide increased stiffness to the pedestal. The side walls of the pedestal can be provided with integrally formed connection portions for the direct attachment of horizontal drawer slides.
