The drawer seat is fixed or fixable to the front wall (4) at the drawer aperture (60) so that the drawer (63) is coupled in a retractable manner to the front wall (4). Outer dashboard (11) and/or the drawer seat (61) includes a cover surface (101a) located externally to the casing (2) in front of the crosspiece front surface (66a), so as to cover the latter when the laundry treatment device (100) is in an assembled configuration.
