The cabinet rear wall includes a channel-shaped recess receiving the bar member and having a second set of openings receiving the heads of the fasteners attaching the bracket to the wall. Each lug member includes an inclined portion providing a bearing for an upper support margin of the lug receiving openings tending to draw the cabinet into engagement with the wall.
