Ink-jet recording apparatus

An ink-jet recording apparatus comprising:

• a base member formed of one resin member;
• a conveyor unit supported by the base member and configured to convey a sheet in a conveying direction that is parallel to a first direction;
• and
• a recording unit supported by the base member and configured to eject ink to record an image on the sheet in a state in which the recording unit is opposed to the sheet in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,
• wherein the base member comprises:
• a first side base portion and a second side base portion each extending in the first direction and spaced apart from each other in a third direction that is perpendicular to each of the first direction and the second direction;
• a center base portion located between the first side base portion and the second side base portion in the third direction;
• a pair of side walls opposed to each other in the third direction and comprising (i) a first side wall extending in the first direction and projecting in the second direction from an edge portion of the center base portion near the first side base portion in the third direction and (ii) a second side wall extending in the first direction and projecting in the second direction from an edge portion of the center base portion near the second side base portion in the third direction;
• and
• a main board connecting the first side wall and the second side wall to each other and configured to support the conveyor unit and the recording unit,
• wherein a stiffness of the main board is greater than that of each of the first side wall and the second side wall.
