(54) Indoor unit for air-conditioning apparatus


(57) [Object] Provided is an indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus, which prevents a part of its casing from digging into a cushioning member even when the indoor unit is stacked up in its packed state and which, therefore, archives the ease of unpacking.
[Solution] An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes a designed side rib part 5a and a designed side planar part 5d. The designed side rib part 5a is provided so as to protrude along the short direction of a casing 5, and has a distal end portion 5a' having a linear shape in rear view. The designed side planar part 5d is provided so as to protrude along the short direction of the casing 5, and has a distal end portion 5d' having a substantially rectangular shape in rear view. When a cushioning member 4 for packing is fitted to the side of the casing 5, both the distal end portion 5a' of the designed side rib part 5a and the distal end portion 5d' of the designed side planar part 5d contact an inner wall 4a of the cushioning member 4 opposite to the distal end portion 5a' of the designed side rib part 5a.
