Do they make shallow base cabinets?
Joe
the center leg of the U is broken up by a door into the backyard. The
fourth wall is entirely blank, and I'd like to add some counter-top
space along it. I can't put a standard 24" deep base cabinet along the
wall because it would stick out further than the lip of the door jam of
the entry into the dining room (any of that make sense?). Are there
shallower base cabinets one can order? How shallow do they go?
Could a cabinet builder make a custom cabinet of, say, 16" deep. This
fourth wall is about 6 feet wide. It is a load bearing wall, but I
could consider moving it back into the front living room behind it if I
had to go with a more expensive option.

cut the back off a regular depth cabinet.

Some stock cabinets come in 12" depth as well as 16" or 18", I'm not sure
which.

should be the same height as a standard base cabinet.
This will give you a 12" deep base cabinet.

which are usually 12" deep. Of course,
you have to add a recessed toe kick, if
you don't want it to be uncomfortable when
standing in front of it. By time you
add the toe kick and the top, it will be
about the
standard lower cabinet height. I didi
this for a small "junk desk" at the end
of a full
height and depth oven stack and it works
well ...... lots of junk (papers, pens,
letter
opener, etc.) alway on that surface.

A custom cabinet maker can make you any size you want.
Stock options include those mentioned by others of using a 30" stock wall
and adding a toekick/base. I have actually done this on three different
projects and pleased each time.
One other option in a stock cabinet is to try and locate some made for
mobile homes. They are made in a 20 or 21" depth.

browsing throught the American Woodmark catalog I see that
most of the base cabinets can be ordered as reduced depth.
Unfortunately I don't see any details jumping out at me as
to what depths are available. I would assume 18" and
possibly 12".
Why not get on the phone to some cabinet suppliers and see
what they offer?

There are little triangle shaped shelf units, and using one on the end
of a row of standard cabinets might make the taper fit your situation.

your cabinet source?
Why don't you homeownershub people read DATES?

Some other people still search these posts years later for the same
information, so a *relevant post* never hurts, no matter how late it is.
What's worse is some jerk like you who bothers to post something years later
just to be an ass...so I'll oblige and do the same.

who drag them back up and post INSTEAD of creating a brand
spanking NEW post. You could quote the old post if you have
something new to add or a question instead acting like the
original poster has been hanging around 11 years awaiting
your reply.
If you want up-to-date information come to a sight like alt.
home.repair instead of some rinky dink site like 'homeownershub'
who only steals posts from this site in order to drive traffic
to theirs.

Exactly, this is the second result on google when I searched "Shallow Cabinet
Base," only being preceded by Ikea, which sells 15" deep base cabinets.

Hold on there Pat. A much easier method to achieve a shallow base cabinet is
to use wall cabinets (smallest is 12" deep) sitting on a 2x4 stud base. Then
you can have 12", 15" and 18" shallow base cabinets in those tight spaces that
Joe has. I see these posts are from 14 years ago so hopefully you found out
about my solution!

talking short as in not as tall ?
Neither would be a problem for a cabinet maker or a skilled carpenter
. Oh , and 18" is a standard depth for bathroom vanity cabinets , though
they are usually 18 1/2 inches tall rather than the standard 34 1/2" for
kitchen base cabinets .
Do some research ! Google might be your friend , but startpage.com
won't rat you out to The Man .

I made the drawers and it wasn't any more difficult than any
of the other drawers I made.
The difficult drawers were the 32" wide, 22" deep, 12" high ones.
Using undermount slides rated at 100 lbs is where the difficulty
comes in. Installation tolerances measured to 1/32". PITA but
really strong and smooth once they are in.
