Thirty-three inches: the corner width, and the only width that houses an oven
Reviewed September 2026 · Captivating Cabinets
Thirty-three inches does two jobs no other width does. It is where the catalog puts every wall-oven cabinet it builds — twelve codes, three configurations, four heights, and nothing comparable at any other size — and it is one of only two widths that carry both a lazy susan and an easy-reach corner base. Forty-one units in total, and the shape of the list tells you exactly what this width is for.
Twelve oven cabinets, and why the single costs the most
The tall list at 33″ is entirely oven cabinets, in three configurations. The D codes take a double oven, the C codes a combination stack, the S codes a single. Each comes in 84, 90, 93 and 96″. The counter-intuitive part is the pricing: the single-oven version is the most expensive of the three, and the double the least.
That is not a mistake. An appliance opening is a hole; a cabinet is what surrounds it. The double-oven box gives most of its height to appliance, while the single fills the space above and below with drawers and doors. You are paying for cabinet, not for the cutout.
| Configuration | Codes | 84″ | 90″ | 93″ | 96″ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Double oven | OC3384D – OC3396D | $1,599.00 | $1,673.75 | $1,677.00 | $1,748.50 |
| Combination | OC3384C – OC3396C | $1,677.00 | $1,755.00 | $1,758.25 | $1,836.25 |
| Single oven | OC3384S – OC3396S | $1,758.25 | $1,839.50 | $1,842.75 | $1,920.75 |
The lazy susan and the easy reach
LSB33-1 at $1,030.25 and ERB33-1 at $838.50 are the two ways to make a corner base genuinely usable, and they exist at 33″ and 36″ only. The lazy susan puts rotating shelves in the corner so the back comes to you; the easy reach opens the corner with a door pair and gives you fixed shelving you have to lean into. The $191.75 between them is the mechanism.
Which to buy depends on what goes in it. Rotating shelves handle pans, mixing bowls and dry goods well and small items badly — anything short slides to the back and stays there. An easy reach holds a stack of large items you retrieve as a unit. If the corner is where the everyday pans live, buy the susan; if it is bulk storage, save the money.
Sinks at 33″, and the cabinet over the refrigerator
There are two 33″ sink bases at the same price — SB33-1 and SB33SDF-1, both $468.00, the second carrying a different front treatment — plus FS33-1 at $815.75 cut for an apron-front sink. Thirty-three inches is the width most main kitchen sinks are specified against, and the reason is the 3″ margin: a 30″ bowl in a 33″ box leaves room for the plumbing and the cabinet structure without a fight.
Above the fridge, the five refrigerator wall cabinets — W331224 through W332424, $455.00 to $546.00 — are 24″ deep rather than 12″, so they reach over the appliance instead of stopping short. Five heights cover whatever gap the fridge leaves; measure it including door swing and hinge clearance, not just the carcass.
The run itself
Nine plain double-door uppers from W3312 at $243.75 to W3342 at $578.50 cover the ordinary bays. On the base list, B33-1 and B33SDF-1 sit at $633.75, the full-height-door codes at $455.00 and $468.00, and DB33-1 gives three drawers for $955.50.
What is absent is as telling: no glass front, no floating shelf, no valance, and an accessory list of two roll-out drawers at $230.75 and $282.75. This is a structural width — corners, ovens, sinks and fridge surrounds — not a decorative one.
Common questions
- What size cabinet do I need for a wall oven?
- Thirty-three inches — it is the only width the catalog builds oven cabinets in, across double, combination and single configurations at 84, 90, 93 and 96″. Always order against the appliance manufacturer’s published cutout, since it varies by model.
- Why does a single oven cabinet cost more than a double?
- Because you are buying cabinet, not the hole. The double-oven box gives most of its height to the appliances; the single fills the rest of the column with drawers and doors. Here the doubles run $1,599.00 to $1,748.50 and the singles $1,758.25 to $1,920.75.
- Lazy susan or easy reach corner cabinet?
- A lazy susan at $1,030.25 rotates the corner out to you and suits everyday pans. An easy reach at $838.50 is fixed shelving behind a door pair. Both are built at 33″ and 36″ only.
- What size sink base for a 30 inch sink?
- A 33″ base, which leaves the customary 3″ for structure and plumbing. Both 33″ sink bases display at $468.00; the apron-front version is $815.75. Confirm against the sink’s cutout drawing before ordering.
- How deep is the cabinet above a refrigerator?
- Twenty-four inches on the refrigerator wall cabinets, rather than the 12″ of a standard upper, so the box reaches over the appliance. The 33″ versions run $455.00 to $546.00 in heights from 12″ to 24″.
