Tall Cabinet
Also known as: Full-Height Cabinet
A full-height cabinet that extends from the floor to near the ceiling, typically 84, 90, or 96 inches tall. Tall cabinets serve as pantry storage, broom closets, or oven enclosures and are sometimes called utility cabinets. Their generous vertical space makes them ideal for storing large items, small appliances, and bulk food supplies.
