24-Inch Unfinished Shaker Base Cabinet
The UB24 is a 24-inch-wide Unfinished Shaker Base Cabinet featuring one drawer, two doors, and one adjustable shelf. It is one of the most popular base cabinet sizes because it provides generous everyday storage while remaining easier to assemble, install, and handle than wider cabinets.
The UB24 works almost anywhere in a kitchen layout. It fits well beside a sink base, near a range, along a primary cabinet run, on an island, or anywhere you have 24 inches available and need practical general-purpose storage.
Why Choose a UB24 Base Cabinet?
The biggest advantage of the UB24 is storage. The wider cabinet provides substantially more room for cookware, mixing bowls, countertop appliances, and everyday kitchen supplies while maintaining a manageable cabinet size.
If your layout allows for a 24-inch cabinet, the UB24 offers one of the best balances between storage capacity, flexibility, and ease of installation.
Common Uses for a UB24
- Pots and pans
- Mixing bowls
- Small kitchen appliances
- Crock-Pots and slow cookers
- Air fryers
- Baking dishes
- Food storage containers
- General kitchen storage
The full-width drawer provides convenient storage for utensils, kitchen tools, and other everyday items, while the adjustable shelf below can be repositioned or removed to accommodate taller cookware or appliances.
UB24 vs. UB21
Choose the
UB21 Base Cabinet
when space is limited or when you're planning a compatible door-mounted trash pullout.
Choose the UB24 when your priority is general kitchen storage. The additional three inches provide noticeably more usable cabinet space for cookware, countertop appliances, and larger kitchen items.
Why the UB24 Is Not Recommended for a Door-Mounted Trash Pullout
The UB24 uses two cabinet doors. Most door-mounted trash pullout systems are designed so a single cabinet door attaches directly to the pullout frame and opens with the containers like a large drawer.
Because the UB24 has two doors, that style of installation is generally not practical. If a door-mounted trash pullout is your goal, we usually recommend either the
UB18 Base Cabinet
or the
UB21 Base Cabinet,
depending on the manufacturer's requirements and your available space.
UB24 vs. a Wider Base Cabinet
A wider cabinet will always provide more storage if your layout allows, but it will also become heavier and more difficult to move, assemble, and install. The UB24 has become one of our most popular sizes because it delivers generous storage while remaining easier to handle than many larger base cabinets.
Whenever additional width is available, choose the cabinet that makes the best use of your space. More storage is almost always beneficial, but the UB24 often represents an excellent balance between capacity and practicality.
Built to Last
Built in America, the UB24 features a solid maple face frame, solid maple Shaker doors and drawer front with recessed maple plywood center panels, and a durable birch plywood cabinet box. Unlike many mass-produced cabinets, we build our cabinets using premium hardwood and furniture-grade plywood—never MDF, particleboard, or other engineered wood products—for long-term strength, durability, and dependable everyday performance.
Soft-close concealed hinges and full-extension soft-close drawer glides provide smooth, quiet operation. The unfinished maple exterior is ready for paint, stain, or clear coat, while the cabinet interior already includes a clear natural protective finish.
Before You Order
Verify your complete cabinet layout before ordering. Confirm the available width, neighboring cabinet sizes, appliance clearances, countertop layout, door operation, and any fillers required near walls or appliances.

Finishing Your Unfinished Maple Cabinet
The unfinished maple exterior can be painted, stained, or clear coated to coordinate with your project. Maple can absorb stain unevenly, so proper preparation with a quality wood conditioner or sanding sealer is recommended before staining.
Before finishing your cabinet, review our
Cabinet Finishing Guide for Unfinished Maple Cabinets.
The cabinet interior already includes a clear natural protective finish and should not be painted or stained.
Assembly
The cabinet ships Ready-to-Assemble using our pocket screw construction system for fast, accurate assembly. Pocket screw construction creates a strong cabinet while simplifying installation for both homeowners and professional installers. The doors arrive pre-hung, and complete assembly instructions are included.
Professional Recommendation
The UB24 is one of our favorite general-purpose base cabinets because it offers an excellent balance of storage capacity, versatility, and ease of installation. It's large enough to store most everyday cookware and countertop appliances without becoming oversized.

when a door-mounted trash pullout is your priority. Choose the UB24 when your goal is maximizing everyday kitchen storage in a practical, easy-to-live-with cabinet size.
