Standard Cabinet Dimensions

Standard base cabinets are typically 34.5″ high, 24″ deep, and vary in width. Wall cabinets are usually 12″ deep and 30″ high. Adjust measurements according to your specific needs.

Step 2: Materials & Cost

Material Considerations

Plywood offers strength and durability, MDF provides a smooth surface for painting, solid wood offers natural beauty, and particle board is a budget-friendly option. Factor in waste (10-15%) when calculating material needs.

Cabinet Construction Formula

Total Cost = (Material × Sheets) + (Hardware × Cabinets) + (Labor × Cabinets)

To calculate total cabinet cost: Determine material needed based on dimensions, add hardware costs (hinges, handles, drawer slides), and factor in labor costs. Remember to include 10-15% waste factor for material calculations.
