Base cabinets in this line run 9″ to 48″ wide in 3″ increments. Your kitchen wall measures whatever the framer left you, and it is almost never a clean multiple of three. The difference has to go somewhere, and the somewhere is a filler.

Fillers do a second job people forget: clearance. Two cabinets meeting at an inside corner need a strip between them so their doors do not collide, and a cabinet that dies into a refrigerator needs room for the door to swing past the appliance handle. Neither is a remainder you can measure off a plan — both are gaps you design in deliberately.

The naming is worth thirty seconds because it unlocks the whole page: type code, then width, then height. WF636 is a wall filler, 6 wide by 36 high. TF696 is 6 by 96. BF3 carries only a width because base height is fixed at 34½″. Our guide to reading cabinet SKU codes applies the same logic to the rest of the catalog.

One habit that saves reorders: buy the wide one and cut it down. A 6″ filler ripped to 1¾″ on site is a filler. A 3″ filler that needed to be 4″ is a phone call and another week.

A skin is a thin finished panel applied to an exposed cabinet side so it reads like the doors instead of like the back of a box. This page lists them by cabinet height — GF SK W42 is the wall cabinet skin for a 42″ high unit — because a skin that is short is worse than no skin at all.

Where they go is the part people underestimate. The end of every run. Both sides of a peninsula. The side facing a doorway, which is often the first cabinet anyone sees. The side beside a refrigerator, which is visible from across the room. Each one is a cheap part next to the cabinet it finishes, and each one is the difference between cabinetry and cabinets that were installed. The end panel and scribe guide walks through the same decisions with drawings.

Crown ships as a length of stock — 96″ is the standard stick — and it is priced by the piece, which means you are buying linear feet rather than buying "crown for the kitchen". Measure the top run of every wall cabinet, remember the short returns at each end of a run, then add 10 to 15 percent. Outside corners eat length, and a miter cut backwards costs a whole stick.

Profiles are listed by number — this page carries Profile 4, GF CM-4, a cove. Use one profile through the whole kitchen, including across the top of the range hood if it is getting crown; two profiles in one room is a mistake nobody can name and everybody notices. Our molding types guide covers what each profile is for, and the hood page shows the shells that crown gets carried across.

These are the applied pieces — vertical trim on the face of a run, or a post under a counter overhang. They are a style choice rather than a requirement, and the heights are the tell: everything here is cut to match a cabinet you already own.

• Wall pilasters — GF PP-W30, PP-W36, PP-W39 and PP-W42, in heights that match the wall cabinets they flank.
• Tall pantry pilasters — GF PP-TP84, PP-TP90, PP-TP93 and PP-TP96, matched to 84″, 90″ and 96″ towers.
• Base pilaster — GF PP-BASE, the below-counter version, usually flanking a range or a farmhouse sink.
• Posts — GF SP3X3 is a 3″ × 3″ post, GF SP36 and GF SQP36 are 36″ lengths, and GF CP36 is a corner post for the outside corner where two runs meet at 90°.
• Columns — GF CLM-3012 through GF CLM-4212, read as height by depth: 30″, 36″, 39″ and 42″ tall at 12″ deep, with GF CLM-BASE as the matching base block and an oversized custom column when nothing standard lands.

Notice the 39″ in both lists. It sits alongside the familiar 30, 36 and 42, and the same odd height turns up in the glass-front wall cabinets. It is the size to remember when a 36″ upper leaves a visible band of wall and a 42″ will not fit — a case that comes up constantly on 8-foot ceilings with a soffit.

An opinion, since nobody else will give you one: pilasters read traditional. Beside a range in a classic white kitchen they look intentional; in a flat modern room they look like something added to fill a gap. Columns and posts are different — those usually hold up an island overhang, and the only question is whether you want the leg visible.

Prices here run from $7.80 to $1,098.50 — a filler costs less than lunch, a custom oversized column is four figures. Almost everything below is at the cheap end, which is what makes leaving it off so expensive.

1. A filler at every inside corner, in both directions.
2. A filler wherever a run dies into a wall, an appliance or a doorway — ordered wide, to be cut down.
3. A skin for every exposed cabinet side, ordered to that cabinet’s height.
4. Crown for the full top run, plus 10 to 15 percent for miters.
5. Scribe molding if the walls or ceiling are visibly wavy — ask us, because it is not always on the page.

If you would rather not count this yourself, send the room dimensions: a free 3D design comes back with the trim itemized, not just the boxes. The pieces also appear in context across the full collection, and the ordering thread continues on the cabinet accessories page.
