DIMENSIONS

According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association, standard cabinet dimensions are as follows:

Base cabinets, which are set on the floor, are 24” deep and 34 ½” high, including a 4” toekick.

Wall cabinets, which are affixed to the wall with screws, are 12” deep. Standard height is 30”, but other common heights include 24”, 33” and 42”.

Tall pantry or utility cabinets are generally 84” or 96” high.

Specialty cabinets include 18” to fit over the range and 12”-15” to fit over the refrigerator.

Note: Be sure to check the size of your dinnerware in a standard cabinet. If you’ve chosen modern, oversized plates that measure more than 12” across, you may find yourself unable to close your wall cabinets’ doors. Specialty or custom cabinets may be needed.
