    Cabinet construction is typically specified using two measurements: height and width. In the United States, cabinets are usually specified in inches. Cabinet height is measured from the floor to the top of the cabinet, while cabinet width is measured from the side of the cabinet to the other side. Kitchen cabinets are typically 24, 30, or 36 inches wide. The most common height for kitchen cabinets is 48 inches. Standard upper cabinets are 12 or 18 inches deep, while standard lower cabinets are 24 inches deep. There are also specialty sizes and depths available from most cabinet manufacturers.

    Kitchen cabinets are typically measured by the width of the cabinet opening, from the face frame to the edge of the cabinet. Cabinet height is usually measured from the floor to the top of the cabinet opening. Cabinet depth is usually measured from front to back.

    Kitchen cabinets are typically measured in linear feet, which is the total length of all the cabinet's sides. So, a cabinet that is 36" wide, 18" deep, and 84" high would be measured as 3 linear feet. Cabinet height is usually measured from the floor to the top of the cabinet. Cabinet depth is usually measured from the back of the cabinet to the front of the cabinet. Cabinet width is usually measured from one side of the cabinet to the other.

    Cabinets are typically measured in width by height and depth. So, for example, a cabinet might be 24" wide x 30" high x 12" deep. This would be written as WxHxD. When ordering cabinets, you'll need to know the size of the space you're trying to fill. You can also ask your contractor to provide you with the dimensions of the kitchen so that you can order your cabinets ahead of time.
