Galaxy Nickel 36" Wide Tall Cabinets

It is 72.8% of the FGNK10 package — the ten-by-ten kitchen this collection sells at $3,500.00 against a $5,384.62 list, which covers seven wall cabinets, four base cabinets, a dishwasher end panel, two toe kicks and six finished ends. One pantry against most of a kitchen is a ratio worth seeing before the order goes in, and it is not an argument against the pantry so much as a prompt to be sure you want this exact one.

It is also a figure produced partly by a kink in the published ladder rather than by the cabinet: at this width the 93-inch boxes list above the 96-inch ones. If the tallest cabinet on the wall is the goal, GN TP362496 at $2,343.25 is both taller and $204.75 cheaper. Where a 93-inch height is genuinely what the ceiling needs, ask us to check that figure against the current manufacturer sheet before it is committed.

Each of these is built from boxes on this collection’s tall list at 84 inches and full depth, so they sit level with a standard base run and read as one elevation.

The second row is exact, not rounded: a combo oven tower at $1,677.00 plus the narrowest pantry in the family at $871.00 comes to $2,548.00 to the cent. For the same money as one tall box you can have an appliance wall and somewhere to keep the food.

When the wall is uninterrupted and the storage is not. A 36-inch pantry gives two 18-inch doors onto a continuous shelf run, which means you store by category rather than by what fits, and there are no stiles standing in the middle of the bay to break a sheet pan or a cereal box across. Two narrower pantries side by side cannot do that at any price.

And when the kitchen has no other home for bulk. In a house with no walk-in, one of these absorbs the paper goods, the bulk packs and the small-appliance overflow that would otherwise colonise three base cabinets — which is worth more than the cabinet costs if those base cabinets were going to be drawers.

In a small kitchen, three feet of full-height doors is a large flat plane that reads as furniture and shrinks the room. The 12-inch-deep version projects no further than the wall cabinets and is the one that disappears; it costs $1,677.00 at 84 inches against $1,712.75 for the full-depth twin, so the shallow choice is a room decision with almost no money attached to it.

The other case against is the delivery. These arrive pre-assembled, and a 36-inch-wide, 24-inch-deep, 96-inch-tall box has a diagonal that will not turn a tight stair. Measure the route before this one is on a truck, and anchor it through the top rail into framing once it is in — loaded with tinned food it is the heaviest thing in the kitchen and it is top-heavy with the doors open.

Everywhere else on the tall ladder, choosing the deep box over the shallow one is close to free — under $33.00 at fifteen, eighteen, twenty-four and thirty inches, at every height. Here it climbs. Full depth adds $35.75 at 84 inches, $29.25 at 90, $29.25 at 96, and $78.00 at 93. That last figure is more than double the step at any other width in the family.

It is still small against a box costing thousands, so it should not decide anything on its own. What it does tell you is that the pricing at this width is built differently from the rest of the ladder, which is worth remembering when you compare a quote against a catalogue printed in a different year. Ask for the current figure on the exact code rather than assuming the step you saw at 24 inches carries across.

One planning consequence follows from the depth choice and not from the price. The shallow 36 stands twelve inches off the wall, which is where wall cabinets end, so it can carry on past the end of a base run without a fat return into the room. The full-depth version cannot — it lands on the base line and wants a base cabinet or a finished panel to arrive against. Decide which of those elevations you are drawing before the depth goes on the order.
