Claim 33:
34. A frame for a cabinet, the frame comprising:
a plurality of frame members; and
a plurality of corner brackets coupling at least some of the plurality of frame members to one another, at least one of the plurality of corner brackets comprising:
a structural portion comprising at least one first material;
a sealing portion comprising at least one second material different than the at least one first material;
a first receiver defining a first longitudinal axis and receiving an end of a first one of the plurality of frame members, the first receiver comprising:
a first retainer portion coupled to the end of the first one of the plurality of frame members; and
a first sealing interface configured to provide a substantially fluid-resistant seal between a portion of the end of the first one of the plurality of frame members and the first receiver;

a second receiver defining a second longitudinal axis substantially orthogonal to the first longitudinal axis of the first receiver and configured to receive an end of a second one of the plurality of frame members, the second receiver comprising:
a second retainer portion coupled to the end of the second one of the plurality of frame members; and
a second sealing interface configured to provide a substantially fluid-resistant seal between a portion of the end of the second one of the plurality of frame members and the second receiver,

wherein the first one of the plurality of frame members defines a first frame member longitudinal axis and the second one of the plurality of frame members defines a second frame member longitudinal axis, and
wherein the first frame member longitudinal axis and the second frame member longitudinal axis are substantially orthogonal with respect to one another;
wherein the first retainer portion comprises:
a first attachment portion presenting an abutment surface facing a direction substantially orthogonal to the first longitudinal axis of the first receiver; and
one or more holes extending through the first attachment portion and configured to receive fasteners configured to secure the end of the first frame member to the first retainer portion.
