There is provided a fastening component and an appliance having a fastening structure, in which the appliance can be readily disassembled without detaching the fastening component from a structural body. The fastening component is constituted of a head 4 disposed at an end of a shaft 3 and having a diameter greater than that at the end of the shaft 3, a washer 2 disposed at the end of the shaft 3, and made of a shape-memory member having an outer diameter before heating greater than a diameter of the head 4 and being contractible in a radial direction with the application of heat, and a washer holder formed along a circumferential direction on a circumference at the end of the shaft 3, for holding the washer 2 contracted in the radial direction with the application of the heat. The washer holder includes a washer container 5 having a diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the washer 2 at the time of contraction, and a washer locker 6 formed adjacently to the washer container 5 on a side opposite to the head 4 and having a diameter greater than the inner diameter of the washer 2 at the time of the contraction.
