Cabinet system

Abstract

A cabinet system is provided. The cabinet system includes a cabinet box and a base, the cabinet box being structured to releasably couple to the base and the base being structured to support the cabinet box thereon.

 wherein the cabinet box is coated with a water-resistant sealant, and   wherein silicone is placed in intersections between each of the front face, the rear face, and the side faces.   
     
     
         9 . A cabinet base, the base comprising:
 a front face;   a back face;   side faces positioned between the front face and the back face, each side face being coupled to the front and back faces, the respective faces defining therebetween an interior,   wherein the front face is configured to releasably detach from the cabinet base to reveal the interior or configured to pivot between a closed position concealing the interior and an open position revealing the interior.   
     
     
         10 . The cabinet base of  claim 9 , further comprising:
 a protrusion positioned proximate an inner surface of the back face; and   a top edge of each of the front face, the back face, and the side faces, wherein the respective top edges are parallel with one another in a plane, and   wherein the protrusion extends above the top surface of the back face.   
     
     
         11 . The cabinet base of  claim 8 , wherein intersections between the rear face, the back face and the side faces are reinforced with strengthening members. 
     
     
         12 . The cabinet base of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 adjustable feet, wherein the adjustable feet are independently adjustable to bring the top edges into the plane.   
     
     
         13 . A cabinet system, the cabinet system comprising:
 a cabinet box comprising:
 a front face; 
 a rear face; 
 a bottom plate having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is coupled to the front face and the second end is coupled to the rear face, the bottom plate being inclined at a predetermined slope from the first end to the second end; 
 side faces positioned between the front and rear surfaces, the side faces being coupled to the front face, the rear face, and the bottom plate; and 
 a lip, the lip being defined by the intersection of the bottom plate and the rear face, wherein the predetermined slope of the bottom plate results in the rear face protruding below the underside surface of the bottom plate, the lip having an interior surface; and 
   a cabinet base comprising:
