[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the case where the storage shelf is attached to the wall surface, the storage shelf protrudes on the wall surface and requires a large space on the wall surface, and it is difficult or difficult to secure the storage shelf mounting space on the wall surface in a relatively small bathroom such as a home. When installed, the room becomes narrower and the storage shelves project from the wall surface, which is inconvenient for use. Also, in the case of a wall mount type, if the amount of protrusion from the wall surface is reduced, the storage space for the goods will be small, and it will be inconvenient because of a halfway storage, and furthermore, a storage shelf will be provided on the wall surface. Then, it cannot be said that it is preferable in terms of appearance. Furthermore, when a storage shelf is provided on the wall surface, the protruding portion from the wall surface increases, and when a door etc. is attached, the protruding amount is extremely large in the open state, which is never preferable for safe use of the bathroom. Not a thing.

On the other hand, in the case where a storage rack or the like is provided in a part of the unit bath, the outer shape of the unit bath becomes large, the occupied space of the unit bath becomes large in the bathroom, and the bathroom becomes narrow, or the unit bath becomes small. Since a storage space is formed on the wall surface such as the front of the unit, it is not preferable in terms of appearance, and there is a disadvantage that the structure of the unit bath is complicated.

By the way, it is desirable to secure a space for organizing and storing bathing goods, cleaning equipment for bathrooms, etc., because toys and the like are brought into the bathroom at home with children. There are many problems with the means. The present invention has been made to solve such problems, and the purpose thereof is to ensure a storage room with sufficient space without using the wall surface of the bathroom or a part of the unit bath. In addition, it is to provide a bathroom bench unit that is highly available when bathing.
