RTA wall cabinets

Most wall cabinets come in three heights: 30, 36 and 42 inches, 12 inches deep, so they leave your counter free. Most kitchens use 36-inch wall cabinets with crown molding on an 8-foot ceiling. Choose 42-inch cabinets if your ceiling is taller, or 30-inch cabinets to keep the price down. Shorter ones go over a range or a fridge.

There is also a 24-inch-deep cabinet made to sit over the refrigerator. It gives you a clean line above the fridge and a high shelf for things you use rarely.

Match your wall cabinet widths to the base cabinets below them, so doors line up over drawers and sinks. Choose a Forevermark finish, or an American Royal one. American Royal wall cabinets are for New Jersey only.
