Thirty-six inches: seventeen part numbers, and the corner with no pull-out
Reviewed September 2026 · Captivating Cabinets
No number on the base grid is stocked like this one. Seventeen part numbers, $100.75 for a diagonal sink floor at the bottom and $1,095.25 for a rotating corner at the top, covering eight jobs that have nothing to do with one another. It is also a cliff edge: drawers, apron bowls and corner storage all stop being manufactured immediately above it, which makes thirty-six the last chance to specify any of them.
Eight jobs, seventeen part numbers
Read the job column before the price column. Several of these are not alternatives to one another in any sense, and two of them are components rather than cabinets.
| Job | Part numbers | Displayed price |
|---|---|---|
| Sink base | GN SB36 · GN SB36SDF | $490.75 each |
| Full-height door | GN B36FD-12D · GN B36FD | $477.75 · $490.75 |
| Blind corner | GN BLB36/39 | $614.25 |
| Corner sink, as parts | GN DSB36 · GN DSB36FD · GN DSF36 · GN DSFL36 | $617.50 · $617.50 · $149.50 · $100.75 |
| Standard base | GN B36 · GN B36SDF | $676.00 each |
| Apron sink | GN FS36 | $825.50 |
| Corner storage | GN ERB36 · GN LSB36 | $848.25 · $1,095.25 |
| Drawers | GN DB36-2 · GN DB36 | $1,017.25 · $1,030.25 |
GN DBS36, a 36-inch drawer bench seat at $425.75, makes the seventeenth. It belongs to banquette seating rather than to a counter run and will not line up with anything in the table above.
The cheapest corner, and the hardware that does not exist for it
The blind box is the cheap way through a corner. Part of its width sits behind whatever starts the run on the adjoining wall, which leaves a pocket of interior you cannot see into and can only grope towards. GN BLB36/39 is $614.25 — $234.00 under the easy-reach and $481.00 under the rotating box — and most buyers sign up to that pocket on the assumption that hardware will be fitted later to bring it back within reach.
Here is the thing worth knowing before you order it: the blind base pull-outs listed for this finish are made for the wider corner boxes only. GNK BPO-BLB42/45, left or right hand, is $1,277.25; GNK BPO-BLB48/51 is $1,394.25. Nothing is listed for a 36/39 box. If the retrofit is the plan, either confirm a fit in writing before ordering the cabinet, or specify the corner at 42 inches and buy hardware that is actually made for it.
The corner sink is a kit, and the parts are priced separately
A diagonal sink arrangement is assembled rather than delivered. GN DSB36 and GN DSB36FD are the cabinets at $617.50, GN DSF36 is the diagonal sink front at $149.50, and GN DSFL36 is the diagonal sink floor at $100.75. The fact that all four carry their own price is the information: they are not automatically included with one another.
Get it in writing, then, before the order goes anywhere: which of those four lines is included in the price you have been quoted, and which has to be added. This is the single configuration where an otherwise complete cabinet can turn up with no floor in it, and that discovery costs an installer a day.
Fitting out the widest drawers made
GN DB36 at $1,030.25 and GN DB36-2 at $1,017.25 sit at the top of the bank family; nothing above them has a drawer in it. Put one against a pair of GN DB18 at $646.75 apiece and the wide box is $263.25 ahead, with a single interior nothing divides. The counter-argument is physical rather than financial: three feet of front, a full load of cast iron, and one hand on the pull. Blumotion runners are rated for that. Wrists on a Tuesday evening are less predictable.
The inserts at this width are the dearest on the board. GN CD-33/36, a cutlery divider, is $526.50. GNK DCD-36 BLUM is $676.00, exactly the price of the standard 36-inch cabinet. GNK DTD-DB36 BLUM is $932.75. For a door box instead, GNK ROD-B36 BLUM E is $240.50 with the high-sided version at $286.00 — the widest roll-outs made, and the end of that family too.
Common questions
- Is there a pull-out for a 36-inch blind corner cabinet?
- None is listed for this finish. The blind base pull-outs are made for the 42/45 box at $1,277.25 and the 48/51 box at $1,394.25. If blind-corner hardware is part of the plan, confirm a fit before ordering the 36 or specify the wider corner.
- Will a 33-inch sink go into a 33-inch cabinet?
- Rarely with any comfort. Undermount clips, tap holes and a wall that is a degree off plumb all eat the margin, and a 33 leaves none. Specify GN SB36 at $490.75 instead, after checking what the sink maker states as its own minimum.
- Why does a corner sink have four part numbers?
- Because it is supplied as components rather than as one finished box: carcass $617.50, diagonal front $149.50, diagonal floor $100.75. Each carries its own price, so each may need its own line on the order.
- Should I buy one 36-inch bank or two 18-inch banks?
- The single box wins on money — $1,030.25 against $1,293.50 — and on interior, because nothing divides it. Two boxes win on handling, since each front carries half the load. Our habit is to split by the cooktop and keep it whole everywhere else.
- Where does the drawer family end?
- Here. Thirty-six is also the last width for an apron bowl, a rotating or easy-reach corner and a shallow carcass. Beyond it the board narrows to three things: doors, a sink box and a blind corner.
