ABSTRACT:
A durable knockdown cabinet and kit for making the same includes, a bottom panel, a top panel, a left panel, a right panel and a plurality of clips. When assembled the left side panel with a lower interior portion of the left panel is aligned by and detachably connected to a left exterior region of the bottom panel with at least one of the clips and an upper interior portion of the left panel is aligned by and detachably connected to a left interior region of the top panel with at least one of the clips. The right side panel with a lower interior portion of the right panel is aligned by and detachably connected to a right exterior region of the bottom panel with at least one of the clips and an upper interior portion of the right panel is aligned by and detachably connected to a right interior region of the top panel with at least one of the clips. The clips each include a first and second clip section and a C-shaped locking plate. The first clip section includes a male portion and the second clip section includes a female portion with the first and second clip sections secured to opposing panels for connection. The male portion is inserted in the female portion to align the panels and the locking plate is slidably engaged over the first and second clip sections to secure the portions together. The locking plate bears substantially the entire structural stress placed upon the connection and prevents structural stress from effecting the male and female portions and preserves the alignment of each connection.
