Abstract

A collapsible cabinet includes a body, two doors, a cover and a bottom member. The body includes two inner panels, two inner posts, two outer panels and two outer posts. All panels and posts of the body are hinged to each other. Each door is hinged detachably to one of the outer posts of the body. The cover is mounted detachably on the body. The bottom member is mounted detachably in the body. Because each door is hinged detachably to one of the outer posts of the body, the collapsible cabinet can be assembled and detached easily without using tools. Labor cost and assembling time of the collapsible cabinet can also be reduced. When the collapsible cabinet is detached, the collapsible cabinet can be transporting and storing easily and cost therefor can be reduced.
