What is claimed is: 1. A plasma display device comprising: a chassis base to support a Plasma Display Panel (PDP) and including at least one assembly hole; and at least one standoff coupled to a corresponding assembly hole of the chassis base, with each standoff having a first end and an axially opposite second end, with the standoff comprising: an elongate portion formed closer to the first end than the second end; a second deforming portion formed on the second end; and a first deforming portion formed between the elongate portion and the second deforming portion, with the first deforming portion and the second deforming portion being embedded inside the chassis base. 2. The plasma display device of claim 1, wherein: the first deforming portion being pressed in a first direction from the first end of the standoff to the second end of the standoff to be embedded into the chassis base through a first major surface of the chassis base; and the second deforming portion being pressed in a second direction from the second end of the standoff to the first end of the standoff to be embedded into the chassis base though a second major surface opposite to the first major surface of the chassis base. 3. The plasma display device of claim 2, wherein the first deforming portion has a greater outer diameter than an outer diameter of the elongate portion. 4. The plasma display device of claim 3, wherein the first deforming portion has a height greater than a thickness of the chassis base. 5. The plasma display device of claim 3, wherein the second deforming portion has a greater outer diameter than a diameter of the corresponding assembly hole. 6. The plasma display device of claim 5, wherein the second deforming portion has a thickness less than that of the chassis base. 7. The plasma display device of claim 2, wherein a surface of the first deforming portion that is closer to the elongate portion than the second deforming portion is arranged on a common plane with the first major surface of the chassis base upon the first deforming portion being pressed into the chassis base through the first surface of the chassis base. 8. The plasma display device of claim 7, wherein the first deforming portion being deformed such that a plane where a pressed surface of the first deforming portion contacts the chassis base is inclined with respect to the first surface of the chassis base upon the first deforming portion being pressed into the chassis base through the first surface of the chassis base. 9. The plasma display device of claim 2, wherein a surface of the second deforming portion is arranged on a common plane with the second surface of the chassis base upon the second deforming portion being pressed into the chassis base through the second surface of the chassis base. 10. The plasma display device of claim 2, wherein the elongate portion includes a coupling hole to receive a coupling member. 11. The plasma display device of claim 10, wherein the coupling hole includes a screw thread arranged on an inner wall of the elongate portion. 12. A method of manufacturing a plasma display device, the method comprising: fabricating at least one assembly hole in a chassis base to support a Plasma Display Panel (PDP); fabricating at least one standoff having a first end and an axially opposite second end, with the standoff comprising: an elongate portion formed closer to the first end than the second end; a second deforming portion formed on the second end; and a first deforming portion formed between the elongate portion and the second deforming portion; and pressing at least one standoff into a corresponding assembly hole in the chassis base by pressing the first deforming portion and the second deforming portion into the chassis base to embed the first deforming portion and the second deforming portion inside the chassis base. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the method further comprises: inserting the elongate portion having an outer diameter into a corresponding assembly hole; inserting the first deforming portion into the corresponding assembly hole and pressing the first deforming portion in a first direction from the first end of the standoff to the second end of the standoff to embed the first deforming portion into the chassis base through a first major surface of the chassis base; and pressing the second deforming portion in a second direction from the second end of the standoff to the first end of the standoff to embed the second deforming portion into the chassis base through a second major surface opposite to the first major surface of the chassis base. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the first deforming portion is fabricated to have a greater outer diameter than an outer diameter of the elongate portion. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the first deforming portion is fabricated to have a height greater than a thickness of the chassis base. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the second deforming portion is fabricated to have a greater outer diameter than a diameter of the corresponding assembly hole. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the second deforming portion is a fabricated to have a thickness less than that of the chassis base. 18. The method of claim 13, wherein a surface of the first deforming portion is arranged on a common plane with the first surface of the chassis base upon the first deforming portion being pressed into the chassis base through the first surface of the chassis base. 19. The method of claim 18, wherein a plane where a pressed surface of the first deforming portion contacts the chassis base is inclined with respect to the first surface of the chassis base upon the first deforming portion being pressed into the chassis base through the first surface of the chassis base. 20. The method of claim 13, wherein a surface of the second deforming portion is arranged on a common plane with the second surface of the chassis base upon the second deforming portion being pressed into the chassis base through the second surface of the chassis base. 21. A plasma display device comprising: a chassis base to support a Plasma Display Panel (PDP) and including an assembly hole; and a standoff coupled to the assembly hole of the chassis base, with each standoff having a first end arranged in a corresponding assembly hole of the chassis base and a second end coupled to the chassis base, and the standoff comprising: an elongate portion formed closer to the first end than the second end; a second deforming portion formed on the second end; and a first deforming portion formed between the elongate portion and the second deforming portion, with the first deforming portion and the second deforming portion being pressed toward each other to be deformed and to clamp the chassis base in between the first deforming portion and the second deforming portion, and the first deforming portion and the second deforming portion being embedded inside the chassis base.
