Kitchen Cabinets for an Island

Base cabinets do the heavy lifting. Furniture bases establish the finished-floor look at the bottom, while end cabinets fill corner positions or cap the run. Stack two or three base cabinets back to back or in a row and you have a solid core ready for a countertop.

Base decorative end panels are made for exactly this. At 23-1/2 inches wide and 29 inches tall with a 3/4-inch thickness, they wrap every exposed face and give the island a clean, furniture-grade appearance on all sides.

Corbels support the overhang. Space them roughly every 24 inches under the leading edge of the countertop. The corbels in this collection measure approximately 3-1/8 inches wide by 13-1/16 inches tall by 5-7/8 inches deep, so they provide real structural support without blocking knee room.

Yes. Both wine cubbies and wine rack cabinets are available to dress the ends of an island. Wine cubbies start at 6 inches wide, so they fit in tight spots, while full wine rack cabinets run up to 24 inches wide by 30 inches tall for a more prominent display.

No. The countertop, whether butcher block, quartz, or stone, comes from your fabricator. Everything here covers the cabinet structure below it: bases, end panels, corbels, and any storage accessories for the ends.

Once assembled, the RTA cabinets sold here are engineered and tested to hold 500 pounds. The team at Everything Cabinets installs these same cabinets in their own projects, and builds from over a decade ago still look new. No special tools or skills are needed for assembly, and step-by-step videos are available on the site.
