Read moreOur 18-inch-deep base cabinets give you real storage flexibility in kitchens, laundry rooms, and tight spaces where standard 24-inch cabinets simply won't fit. We use solid maple faces and birch plywood boxes to construct all our 18-inch-deep unfinished cabinets and poplar and birch for our finished cabinets. Choose from unfinished RTA Shaker cabinets you can paint or stain to match any style, white RTA Shaker cabinets for a crisp, timeless look, or light gray RTA Shaker cabinets for a contemporary finish. We ship all our 18-inch-depth base cabinets ready to assemble.
The standard kitchen base cabinet runs 24 inches deep, but that depth isn't always practical. Galley kitchens, narrow kitchen peninsulas, islands with seating overhangs, laundry rooms, and home offices all benefit from a shallower profile. Our 18-inch-deep cabinets occupy less floor space while still providing vertical storage, making them one of the most versatile options in any remodel. If you've ever struggled to keep a walkway clear or wanted cabinetry along a wall where a full-depth cabinet would crowd, the 18-inch-depth base cabinet is the answer.
Every 18-inch-deep cabinet in our lineup starts with a solid maple front frame and door. The cabinet box uses birch plywood rather than particleboard, so the structure holds up against moisture and daily use over the long term. Cabinet interiors feature a clear, natural finish that protects the wood and keeps the inside looking clean. These are built-to-order cabinets made in America, not mass-produced imports sitting in an overseas warehouse.
Not every project calls for the same finish, and we stock options that cover the full spectrum.
Our unfinished RTA Shaker cabinets and unfinished maple kitchen cabinets give you a bare solid maple surface ready for any paint color or stain you choose. This makes them the go-to option for homeowners who want a custom look without a custom price. If you've already picked a specific color for your kitchen or bathroom, starting with 18-inch-deep, unfinished cabinets lets you control the final result down to the last detail.
A white finish stays fresh across nearly every kitchen style. Our white RTA Shaker cabinets in an 18-inch depth are a strong choice for modern farmhouse kitchens, bright galley layouts, and any space where you want to maximize the sense of openness.
Gray has become one of the most popular finishes in kitchen design, and for good reason. Our light gray RTA Shaker cabinets pair easily with warm and cool countertop materials, giving your kitchen a polished, contemporary look without committing to a bold color.

Shop NowYou can absolutely use 18-inch-deep base cabinets as the primary run of cabinetry in a full kitchen, particularly in galley-style kitchens where a standard 24-inch depth would make the aisle uncomfortably narrow. The general minimum clearance between facing cabinets or between cabinets and an island is 42 inches for a single-cook kitchen. Swapping to an 18-inch depth on one side can recover several inches of walkway space.
Our base cabinets are 34.5 inches tall without a countertop, which is the industry standard for base cabinet height. When you add a countertop with the typical 1.5-inch thickness, the finished counter height is 36 inches, the standard countertop height used in most kitchen and bathroom designs. Standard toe kick trim fits our cabinet bases without modification.
Yes. We offer sample doors so you can evaluate the finish, wood grain, and color in your actual space before placing a full order. Purchasing a sample door first is a smart step, especially if you're choosing between finishes or trying to match existing materials in your kitchen. You'll receive a full refund for sample doors on your first order.
