Base, Wall and Tall Cabinets: What Each One Does in Your Kitchen

Every kitchen is built from three cabinet types. Knowing their standard sizes helps you read a 3D design and spot where storage can grow.

Kitchen cabinet types with typical industry dimensions
Type Typical depth Typical height Best used for
Base cabinets24 in34.5 in (36 in with countertop)Drawers for pots and utensils; the sink and the countertop sit on them
Wall cabinets12 in30 to 42 inGlasses, plates and everyday dishes
Tall cabinets24 in84 to 96 inPantry storage, wall ovens and brooms
Island cabinets24 in or back-to-back34.5 inExtra drawers plus seating overhang above

Three Layout Choices That Change How the Kitchen Works

These decisions affect daily use more than the door style. We review each one with you during the 3D design, along with the kitchen work triangle, the path between sink, range and refrigerator. Read whether the work triangle still matters.

Drawers Instead of Doors

Deep base drawers let you see everything without kneeling. Many homeowners put them near the range.

Wall Cabinet Height

Taller uppers to the ceiling add storage and remove the dust shelf on top.

Corner Storage

Corners are the hardest space to reach. Plan how the blind corner will be used before you order.

Door styles

Shaker or European: Choosing the Door Style for Your Kitchen

Shaker doors take their name from Shaker furniture, the plain American style of the 1800s. In our Slim Shaker and 3/4 Beveled Shaker cabinetry, each door has a frame around a recessed center panel. They suit traditional, transitional and farmhouse kitchens, and they pair with almost any countertop.

European Design doors are flat slabs with a clean, frameless look, favored in modern kitchens with slim pulls. Wondering if shaker will age well? Read are shaker cabinets outdated. See door samples in every style and color in our showroom.

From visit to install

How New Kitchen Cabinets Are Installed

Installation is where cabinets succeed or fail. Level, plumb and square boxes are what let a stone countertop sit flat with tight seams.

  1. 1. Measure and Design

    A free in-home measurement, then our free design visit in 3D within 2 business days.

  2. 2. Delivery

    Cabinets arrive at your home. White shaker, our most requested door, usually takes 1 to 2 weeks; other styles and colors vary.

  3. 3. Assembly and Leveling

    Our crew assembles, levels and fastens each box to the wall and to each other.

  4. 4. Doors and Countertop

    Doors are adjusted, then we template your stone on the finished cabinets.

Finish the kitchen

FAQ

Kitchen Cabinet Questions

What homeowners ask before ordering new kitchen cabinets.

Should I choose shaker or flat-panel cabinets in 2026?

Both are current. Shaker, in our Slim Shaker and 3/4 Beveled Shaker styles, suits traditional and transitional kitchens; flat European Design doors suit modern ones. See both in our showroom at 7517 Orr Rd.

Does Cornerstone install the cabinets it sells?

Yes. Our crew assembles, levels and installs every cabinet we supply. We install only the cabinets we supply.

How long do new kitchen cabinets take to arrive?

It depends on the door style and color. White shaker, our most requested door, usually arrives in 1 to 2 weeks.

What warranty comes with new kitchen cabinets?

Our 1-year quality warranty covers the installation, and the stone countertop carries the same 1-year warranty on fabrication and installation.

Is the kitchen measurement free?

Yes. The in-home measurement and the 3D design are both free.

How do payments work for kitchen cabinets?

50% when you approve, 30% at delivery and 20% when installation is complete.

Can you change my kitchen layout?

Yes, in the 3D design. Moving the sink or appliances needs your plumber or electrician, since we don't do plumbing.

When is the countertop installed?

We template the stone after the cabinets are installed, and install it up to 7 business days later, as fast as 3. Countertops start at $29.95 per sq ft installed.
