Cabinet Types

Island Base Cabinet

A base cabinet specifically configured for kitchen island installation, featuring finished panels on all exposed sides (typically back and both ends) since islands are visible from multiple angles. Island base cabinets may include deeper dimensions, finished interior shelving, electrical outlet cutouts, and back-panel access for plumbing or wiring. They require toe kick returns and finished end panels to create a polished, freestanding appearance.
