Fabuwood Cabinet Sizes and Specs: The Complete Dimension Guide (2026)

Every kitchen plan lives or dies on a handful of numbers. Get Fabuwood cabinet sizes right and a 3D design comes together in an afternoon; get them wrong and you're reordering a base cabinet three weeks into a remodel, or discovering your fridge doesn't fit the pantry run you already paid for. This guide pulls the real dimensions straight from Fabuwood's official specbooks — the same PDFs our designers use to spec every kitchen — organized by cabinet type so you can plan a layout, check an existing kitchen, or just make sense of a quote covered in item codes.

We're an authorized Fabuwood dealer, so this isn't secondhand information pulled from a forum thread — it's what's open on our screens on every project, including the corner, blind, and modification specs that most size guides skip because they're buried deep in the spec book rather than the front-page tables.

Fabuwood Cabinet Sizes at a Glance

Fabuwood cabinet sizes and specs follow the same three-category structure used across the Allure, Illume, and Ovela lines — only the door style and finish change between them, not the box dimensions. A Galaxy shaker base cabinet and an Ovela Catalina slab base cabinet in the same width are, underneath the door, the exact same box. That consistency is worth knowing up front: once you understand one series' dimensions, you understand all three. Here's the quick reference before we break down each category in detail.

A 24"-deep base cabinet plus a standard 1½" countertop overhang and 1½" countertop thickness is where the familiar 36" kitchen counter height comes from — Fabuwood's 34½" box is built to hit that number with a normal countertop, not an odd one. Wall cabinets are hung with an 18"–20" gap above the counter in a typical installation, which is why a 30"-tall wall cabinet paired with a 34½" base cabinet lands so close to a standard 8-foot ceiling with just a few inches left for crown or a soffit.

Base Cabinet Sizes and Specs

Base cabinets set the footprint of a kitchen, so this is the category worth measuring twice. Every Fabuwood base cabinet is 34½" tall and 24" deep, regardless of door style or line — that's true whether you're looking at an Allure Galaxy shaker or an Ovela Catalina slab. The 34½" height already includes a 4½" toe kick, built as a ¾" plywood recess at the bottom of the cabinet rather than a separate piece, so it doesn't get added on top of the box height when you're calculating final counter height.

Width is where base cabinets vary. Standard sink, drawer, and door base cabinets run from 9" up to 36" in mostly 3" increments (9", 12", 15", 18", 21", 24", 27", 30", 33", 36"), with single-door cabinets typically capping out around 18"–21" and double-door cabinets picking up from 24" wide. Beyond 36", you're generally into corner, blind-corner, or sink base configurations rather than a single continuous door.

• Single-door base: 9"–21" wide — the workhorse for tight runs and end-of-counter fills.
• Double-door base: 24"–36" wide — the standard under-counter cabinet for open runs.
• Drawer base: 3-drawer stacks in the same 9"–36" width range, popular for pot and pan storage.
• Blind corner base: pairs a standard cabinet with a filler against the adjacent run — see our base cabinet types guide for how the blind mechanism works.
• Sink base: typically 30"–36" wide with a false front instead of drawers to clear the plumbing.

Corner base cabinets deserve their own callout, because they're the width figures buyers get wrong most often. A lazy susan corner base — the rotating-shelf solution for a 90-degree corner — comes in two standard widths: LSB33, which includes two 26" pie-cut lazy susan trays, and LSB36, with two 32" trays. Both need a corner opening of roughly 22½"–25½" to install and swing correctly, which is a different number than the cabinet's stated width and the one measurement people forget to check against their actual corner before ordering. If your layout uses a lazy susan, confirm the opening dimension with your designer before finalizing — it's a five-minute check that avoids a cabinet that arrives and doesn't spin.

Wall Cabinet Sizes and Specs

Wall cabinets are more standardized on depth and more flexible on height. Every Fabuwood wall cabinet is 12" deep. Heights run in a fixed set — 12", 15", 18", 21", 24", 30", 36", and 42" — chosen based on ceiling height and whether the cabinet sits over a range hood, refrigerator, or standard counter run. 30" is the most common wall cabinet height in a standard 8-foot-ceiling kitchen; 36" and 42" wall cabinets are used with 9- and 10-foot ceilings, or when a kitchen skips upper crown molding and runs cabinets to the ceiling instead for a built-in look.

Widths mirror the base cabinet range, roughly 9"–42" across single-door, double-door, and specialty configurations:

• Single-door wall: 9"–21" wide, any of the standard heights.
• Double-door wall: 24"–42" wide.
• Diagonal and pie-cut corner wall: for the corner where two upper runs meet — 24"–27" wide on the two return legs, in the same 30"/36" height options as the rest of the run.
• Wall with drawers: a 48"-wide, 35½"-tall configuration used above cooktops in place of a hood cabinet, with shelves and clips shipped loose in a separate package.

Blind wall cabinets — the wall equivalent of the blind base cabinet, used when a run stops at an inside corner — need a filler against the adjacent wall cabinet to clear the door swing; that filler isn't supplied with the cabinet and has to be ordered separately as a "universal filler" accessory. It's a small line item, but it's an easy one to miss when a DIY layout is built purely off the cabinet list without checking each corner condition individually.

Tall and Pantry Cabinet Sizes

Fabuwood's tall and pantry cabinets come in two depths — 12" deep for a shallow pantry that doesn't crowd a walkway, and 24" deep to match base cabinet depth for a true full-depth pantry — and two heights, 84" and 96", matched to standard 8-foot and 9-foot ceilings. Widths generally run 15"–36", with single-door configurations at the narrow end and double-door pantries picking up from around 24".

There's a third depth worth knowing if a 24"-deep pantry won't fit your walkway: certain tall pantry cabinets (the TP1821 configuration, for example) support a factory "Cut-Tall" modification that reduces the depth to 21" — a middle ground between the shallow 12" option and the full 24" depth, useful when a hallway or entryway pantry needs a little extra clearance but still wants real storage capacity.

Tall cabinets also cover oven and microwave housings, which follow the same 84"/96" height and 24" depth but with cutouts sized to the appliance rather than shelving — always confirm the exact appliance model's cutout dimensions before ordering, since those vary by manufacturer and a housing cut for one brand's wall oven won't necessarily clear another's.

Vanity Cabinet Sizes

Fabuwood also builds dedicated bathroom vanity cabinets, and the dimension that changes from kitchen base cabinets is depth: vanities run 21" deep instead of 24", which is the standard bathroom clearance. Height is 34" tall (about 35"–36" once the countertop is on, the modern "comfort height"), in widths from 12" to 60" across sink bases, drawer bases, and sink-and-drawer combos. We cover every vanity configuration and finish in more depth in our Fabuwood vanities guide.

Custom Sizes and Modifications

Standard sizes cover most kitchens, but Fabuwood's Custom Shop also handles common field modifications when a cabinet needs to fit a space the standard catalog doesn't quite reach. A few of the most-requested ones:

• CUT-TK (toe kick height): reduces the toe kick to a specified total cabinet height — useful when flooring buildup or an unusually low sightline changes your target counter height.
• CUT-PANEL: trims a decorative or filler panel down to any size, ordered when a stock panel is close but not exact for an end run or island side.
• Depth reduction (knee drawer and rollout cabinets): certain configurations can have their depth reduced and specified to the cabinet, with the roll-out drawer trimmed to match — common on peninsula returns and tight galley layouts.

None of these are something you specify casually — they go through your dealer's order system with the exact modification code, so if your layout needs one, it's a conversation with your designer rather than a guess on a form. It's also why a DIY-measured kitchen that looks like it needs "just a slightly narrower cabinet" is worth a second look from an actual designer before you order: a standard width nearby is often cheaper and faster than a custom modification, and sometimes the modification isn't necessary once someone re-checks the wall measurement.

Reading a Fabuwood Item Code

Fabuwood item codes are built to tell you the size before you even open the specbook. A code like B24 is a Base cabinet, 24" wide. W1230 is a Wall cabinet, 12" wide, 30" tall. WBC3042 is a Wall Blind Corner cabinet — the same width/height logic, with a letter prefix flagging the special configuration. Longer codes stack the same logic: TP152484 is a Tall Pantry, 15" wide, 24" deep, 84" tall — three dimensions in one code once you know to read it two digits at a time. WDC2430 is a Wall Diagonal Corner, 24"–30" nominal, and LSB33 is a Lazy Susan Base sized for the 33"-wide corner opening described above.

Once you know the prefix system, a full cabinet list reads like a floor plan — you can look at a quote's item codes and picture the kitchen before you've seen a rendering. We break the full code system down letter by letter — sink bases, blind corners, diagonal corners, and every other prefix Fabuwood uses — in how to read cabinet SKU codes.

Common Sizing Mistakes to Avoid

Most sizing problems we catch in design review fall into the same handful of patterns:

• Forgetting the toe kick is included, not added. A 34½" base cabinet is already the finished height with toe kick — don't add 4½" on top when calculating where your counter lands, or you'll plan for a counter that's several inches too high.
• Measuring a corner cabinet by its stated width instead of its opening requirement. Lazy susan and blind corner cabinets need more physical corner space than their width number suggests — see the base and wall sections above for the actual opening dimensions.
• Skipping filler allowances. Blind cabinets, cabinets next to appliances, and runs that end at a wall almost always need a filler strip that isn't included in the cabinet's own width — a layout built purely by adding cabinet widths end-to-end will come up short against the real wall measurement.
• Assuming appliance cutouts are universal. Oven, microwave, and refrigerator housing cabinets are sized to a cutout, not to the appliance category — always confirm your specific appliance model's dimensions against the cabinet spec before ordering, especially on a range or refrigerator swap in an existing kitchen.
• Trusting an old kitchen's cabinet sizes as a template. Cabinet standards have shifted over decades (a 30" wall cabinet used to be more common than 42"), so measuring an existing kitchen for a like-for-like replacement is a good start but not a guarantee — always re-measure the actual wall and opening, not just the old cabinet.

Turning Sizes Into a Layout

Knowing individual cabinet sizes is step one; fitting them into a real kitchen is the harder problem, because clearances between runs, islands, and appliances matter as much as the cabinets themselves. Two resources go deeper on that side of planning: our kitchen dimensions guide covers walkway and clearance standards, and our island clearance guide covers the number-one layout mistake we see in DIY plans. If you want the standard reference layout, our 10x10 kitchen guide shows how a typical cabinet count fills that benchmark footprint.

For an exact plan, the fastest route is skipping the manual math entirely: send your measurements to our free 3D design service and our designers will spec every base, wall, and tall cabinet — correct sizes, correct codes, correct fillers and modifications where needed — and return a full rendering with an itemized quote. You can also pull the official Fabuwood specbooks directly if you want the complete line-by-line dimension tables we used to write this guide, or talk it through with Cabinets AI if you have a quick sizing question and don't want to dig through a PDF.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the standard Fabuwood base cabinet size?

34½" tall and 24" deep, with the 4½" toe kick already included in that height. Width varies by cabinet — typically 9" to 36" in 3" steps, depending on whether it's a single-door, double-door, drawer, or sink base.

What is the standard Fabuwood wall cabinet size?

12" deep, with heights of 12", 15", 18", 21", 24", 30", 36", or 42" depending on ceiling height and placement. 30" is the most common height in an 8-foot-ceiling kitchen.

How deep are Fabuwood pantry cabinets?

Fabuwood tall and pantry cabinets come in 12" and 24" depths, at 84" or 96" tall. Certain configurations also support a factory-modified 21" depth. The 24"-deep option matches base cabinet depth for full storage capacity; the 12"-deep option suits narrower spaces.

Are Fabuwood cabinet sizes the same across Allure, Illume, and Ovela?

Yes. Box dimensions — depth, height, and the width range — are consistent across all three series. What changes between lines is the door style and finish, not the underlying cabinet size.

How much corner space does a lazy susan cabinet need?

Roughly 22½"–25½" of corner opening for the standard LSB33 and LSB36 configurations, which is a different figure than the cabinet's stated width. Confirm this against your actual corner before finalizing a layout that includes one.

Can Fabuwood cabinets be custom-sized?

Standard widths and heights cover most layouts, but Fabuwood's Custom Shop supports specific field modifications — reduced toe-kick height, cut-down panels, and reduced depth on certain base configurations — ordered through your dealer with the exact modification code.

How do I know what size cabinet I need?

Start from your wall measurements and appliance locations, then work in the standard width increments above, remembering to allow for fillers at blind corners and end conditions. For anything beyond a simple run, our free 3D design service will size and code every cabinet in your kitchen correctly before you order.
