ABSTRACT:
An appliance cabinet such as a refrigerator cabinet is formed of sheet steel which is textured by coining along one surface and provides a substantially smooth surface on the opposite side. The coining operation results in shallow, projecting irregularities on the substantially smooth side of the sheet steel. Non-textured cabinets are formed by bending and joining the sheet steel to form a cabinet shell having the textured side of the sheet steel on the inside and a substantially smooth surface of the sheet steel on the outside. When a finished paint coating is applied to the substantially smooth side, a leather-like surface appearance results. When the sheet steel is bent and formed into a shell for a cabinet with the textured side on the outside, a textured cabinet results. By forming both types of cabinets from the same sheet steel, manufacturing savings result because only one type of sheet steel must be procured and inventoried.
