A cabinet device comprising:
- an inner casing to form an inner body of the cabinet device, the inner casing including a first inner side wall, a second inner side wall, a top inner wall and a bottom inner wall, and the inner casing is configured to provide a storage space;
- an outer casing to form part of an outer body of the cabinet device, the outer casing including a first outer side wall adjacent to the first inner side wall and a second outer side wall adjacent to the second inner side wall;
- and
- an upper surface assembly disposed between an upper end of the first outer side wall and an upper end of the second outer side wall, and the upper surface assembly to provide an upper surface of the cabinet device,
- wherein the upper surface assembly comprises:
- an upper panel that provides an upper surface of the upper surface assembly;
- a bottom frame that provides a bottom surface of the upper surface assembly, and the bottom frame is coupled to an upper surface of the top inner wall of the inner casing;
- a first holder bracket attached to at least a bottom surface of the upper panel and to the bottom frame;
- and
- a second holder bracket attached to the upper panel, and the second holder bracket is removably coupled to the bottom frame,
- wherein the bottom frame includes:
- a first edge wall at a front end of an upper surface of the bottom frame,
- a second edge wall at a rear end of the upper surface of the bottom frame, and
- a first protruding support that protrudes from an inside surface of one of the first and second edge walls of the bottom frame, and
- wherein one of the first and second holder brackets has an accommodating groove, and the accommodating groove is configured to accommodate the first protruding support and prevent movement of the upper panel relative to the bottom frame.
