Build a complete cabinet order
A room plan, appliance dimensions and a checked parts list help keep a project organized.
Practical ideas for planning, comparing and ordering kitchen cabinets.
A room plan, appliance dimensions and a checked parts list help keep a project organized.
Look beyond color to the cabinet box, door design, hinges and drawer hardware.
Compare samples beside the flooring, countertop and lighting you plan to use.
Start with a measured room drawing. Mark doors, windows, plumbing, electrical outlets and ceiling height. Add the exact dimensions and clearance requirements of each appliance. List each cabinet by SKU, size and quantity. Include fillers, finished panels, toe kicks, moulding and accessories as separate items.
Check every wall run and corner before ordering. Cabinet width alone does not account for a filler, a wall that is out of square or the clearance needed to open a door or drawer. Keep the final drawing and cabinet list together.
Open the measuring checklist →A framed cabinet has a face frame around the front opening. A frameless cabinet attaches its doors directly to the cabinet box. Compare the individual product specifications for box material, thickness, hinge adjustment, shelf support and drawer slides. Construction can vary between series.
Use the product's size options and SKU to identify the exact model. Similar names can describe different heights or widths.
Read the cabinet glossary →View a sample in the room during daylight and under its evening lighting. Put it beside your countertop, backsplash and flooring samples. Screen settings can change how a finish appears, and wood grain varies between pieces.
