33-Inch Unfinished Shaker Base Cabinet
The UB33 is a 33-inch-wide Unfinished Shaker Base Cabinet featuring two drawers, two doors, and one adjustable shelf. It marks an important transition in our base cabinet lineup as the first cabinet to feature two side-by-side drawers. If you prefer organized drawer storage instead of one large utility drawer, the UB33 is an excellent choice.
The two-drawer design makes it easy to separate everyday kitchen items while providing a spacious cabinet below for cookware, countertop appliances, and larger household essentials.
Why Choose a UB33 Base Cabinet?
The biggest advantage of the UB33 is organization. Instead of one wide utility drawer, you gain two separate drawers that allow frequently used kitchen tools and utensils to be organized into dedicated spaces while maintaining generous cabinet storage below.
If you've ever wished you had another drawer for kitchen tools, towels, wraps, or cooking utensils, the UB33 provides that convenience without sacrificing valuable cabinet space.
Common Uses for a UB33
The two upper drawers are commonly used for:
- Cooking utensils
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Kitchen towels
- Foil, plastic wrap, and parchment paper
- Cooking gadgets
- Frequently used kitchen tools
The cabinet below is ideal for storing:
- Pots and pans
- Mixing bowls
- Small kitchen appliances
- Crock-Pots and slow cookers
- Air fryers
- Baking dishes
- Food storage containers
UB33 vs. UB30
The
UB30 Base Cabinet
features the widest single utility drawer in this cabinet series. Choose the UB30 if you prefer one large drawer for oversized utensils and everyday kitchen tools.
Choose the UB33 when you would rather have two organized drawers instead of one large drawer. Many homeowners appreciate being able to separate cooking utensils from wraps, towels, and other frequently used items.
UB33 vs. UB36
If your layout has room for a
UB36 Base Cabinet,
the additional width provides even more cabinet storage. As we often recommend, if your layout comfortably allows for a larger cabinet, the extra storage is usually worth it.
Built for Everyday Kitchens
Our two-door base cabinets are built without a center stile between the doors. When both doors are open, you have full access to the cabinet interior, making it easier to load and remove larger cookware, countertop appliances, and other bulky kitchen items.
The partial overlay Shaker design complements traditional, Craftsman, and farmhouse kitchens while giving homeowners the flexibility to install decorative hardware—or leave the cabinets hardware-free for a clean, timeless appearance.
Built to Last
Built in America, the UB33 features a solid maple face frame, solid maple Shaker doors and drawer fronts 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.
Every drawer is constructed with a durable 1/2-inch plywood drawer bottom to support everyday kitchen utensils, cookware, and household items. 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.

Finishing Your Unfinished Maple Cabinet
The unfinished maple exterior can be painted, stained, or clear coated to complement 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. Both doors arrive pre-hung, and complete assembly instructions are included.
Professional Recommendation
We recommend the UB33 for homeowners who value organization. The two side-by-side drawers make it easy to separate utensils, cooking tools, towels, wraps, and everyday kitchen items while keeping larger cookware neatly stored below.
If you prefer one large utility drawer, choose the
UB30.
If you want additional organization while maintaining generous cabinet storage, the UB33 is one of the most versatile base cabinets in our lineup.
