Each sub-cabinet includes a back board having at least two separate back board pieces that are pivotably connected to each other, a left side board pivotably connected to one of the at least two back board pieces, and a right side board pivotably connected to another of the at least two back board pieces. At least one shelf board having opposite ends is removably connected to the left side board and the right side board of either the first sub-cabinet or the second sub-cabinet. A first end board is connected to either an upper end of the first sub-cabinet or a lower end of the second sub-cabinet. A first connector removably connects the left side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets, and a second connector removably connects the right side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A modular cabinet assembly, comprising: a first sub-cabinet and a second sub-cabinet, each sub-cabinet comprising: a back board having at least two separate back board pieces that are pivotably connected to each other; a left side board pivotably connected to one of the at least two back board pieces, the left side board having opposite left side board end surfaces and a plurality of pairs of first hook holes provided on the left side board end surfaces; and a right side board pivotably connected to another of the at least two back board pieces, the right side board having opposite right side board end surfaces and a plurality of pairs of first hook holes provided on the right side board end surfaces; at least one shelf board having opposite ends removably connected to the left side board and the right side board of either the first sub-cabinet or the second sub-cabinet, each of the at least one shelf board having a bottom and a second hook hole formed on the bottom thereof; a first end board connected to either an upper end of the first sub-cabinet or a lower end of the second sub-cabinet; and a plurality of hooks that are adapted to removably connect the at least one shelf board to opposite ends of the left side board and the right side board, wherein each hook has two pairs of first barbs that are received in a pair of first hook holes on either the right side board end surface or the left side board end surface, and a second barb that extends upwardly and is received in the second hook hole. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The assembly of claim 1, further including a first connector that removably connects the left side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets, and a second connector that removably connects the right side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The assembly of claim 1, further including a second end board connected to the other of the upper end of the first sub-cabinet or the lower end of the second sub-cabinet. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The assembly of claim 1, wherein each left side board and each right side board has an upper end and a lower end, and a connecting board provided at each upper end and each lower end of each left and right side board, further including a first connecting mechanism provided at each connecting board, and a second connecting mechanism provided adjacent an edge of the first end board, wherein the first connecting mechanism is a clamping hole that has a varying cross-section with a larger end and a smaller end, and the second connecting mechanism is a clamp having an elastic clamping portion, with the clamp adapted to be coupled to a corresponding clamping hole. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The assembly of claim 1, wherein each left side board and each right side board has an upper end and a lower end, and a connecting board provided at each upper end and each lower end of each left and right side board, further including a first connecting mechanism provided at each connecting board, and a second connecting mechanism provided adjacent an edge of the first end board, wherein the second connecting mechanism is a clamping hole that has a varying cross-section with a larger end and a smaller end, and the first connecting mechanism is a clamp having an elastic clamping portion, with the clamp adapted to be coupled to a corresponding clamping hole.
