A collapsible storage cabinet having a set-up, operating position and a collapsed, storage position. The cabinet includes a pair of side portions, a rear portion formed by a pair of hinged rear panels, a front portion including two hinged doors, and a top portion. Each side portion includes a vertical front leg and a vertical rear leg with a side panel extending therebetween. The rear panels forming the rear portion are hingingly attached to the rear legs such that the rear panels are perpendicular to the side portions when the cabinet is in the operating position and are parallel to the side portions when the cabinet is in the storage position. Each door is reversibly hingingly attached to a front leg such that the doors may be pivoted inwardly when the cabinet is in the storage position, and pivoted outwardly when the cabinet is in the operating position. Each of the doors has a vertical groove therein into which is received an edge of the corresponding front leg when the door is in a fully opened position. When the cabinet is collapsed, the doors, rear panels and side panels define storage cavities therebetween for storingly receiving removable panels positionable in the cabinet. At least one shelf is provided which has touch-release latches thereon which eliminate the need for external hardware on the doors. The storage cavity includes latch receiving recesses therein for receiving the latches when the corresponding shelf is placed in the storage cavity.
