  • 2-drawer base cabinet, no toe kick

    Posted by Amy on October 25, 2025 at 9:38 am

    Hello!

    When customizing the 2-drawer base cabinet without the toe-kick, the image states that the “height entered is the actual height of the cabinet case”. How does this impact the vertical drawer sizing (aka do the drawers get taller?)?

    Thank you!

    Drawer heights will increase as cabinet height increases — within reason. As the cabinet gets taller, the drawers will automatically scale to use the tallest drawer box available that fits within our standard height options: 3″, 4″, 6″, 8″, 10″, and 12″.

    We don’t produce drawer boxes in between those sizes because the dovetail placement must align properly with the drawer bottom groove, which has to land on the male portion of the dovetail joint.

    As the opening height increases, a taller drawer box can be used — provided there’s about ¼” of clearance above the drawer box. For example, an 8″ drawer box cannot fit into an 8″ opening; it needs a little extra room.

    Our maximum drawer box height is 12″.
    See the example below showing a two-drawer cabinet both with and without a toe kick for comparison.
