Apologies, I checked with our layout department and a 42″ tall cabinet will only include two adjustable shelves. A third shelf would need to be added manually if you want three total.
If the cabinet is ordered over 42″ tall, so say 42.25″, then a third shelf is included automatically. This standard was put in place years ago, so I was a bit behind on that detail.

18″ would be fine for the width.

The 2 door wall cabinet is never built with a center support. If you order a 48″ wide unit, you will have a full 46.5″ wide opening behind the doors. If you prefer a center support, simply order two separate single door wall cabinets and attach them together.
Keep in mind that cabinets over 36″ wide are considered fairly large. Shelves can begin to sag under heavier loads, even though they are made from 3/4″ plywood. They won’t fail, but some deflection is normal at wider spans.
If this becomes a concern, you can double up the shelves by ordering extras and stacking them, or add additional support along the front edge as needed.

Correct, you can stack pantry cabinets on top of base cabinets. Just be sure to order the pantry cabinets with no toe kick.
As long as the widths and depths of your wall, base, and tall cabinets match, they can be stacked in various configurations. Typically, base cabinets are kept on the bottom since they have open tops with stretchers, while wall and tall cabinets have fully closed tops.
That said, your design will work just fine.

Sure see here:
RED ARROW:
Yes, a single tall finished end panel should be installed on the side of your stacked wall/base/tall cabinets. This panel is always ordered as one continuous tall piece to cover the horizontal seams where the stacked cabinets meet.
https://www.citycabinets.com/Kitchen-Tall-Cabinet-Finshed-End-Panels-s/103.htmBLUE ARROW:
Yes, a 2″ wide filler is needed between your tall cabinet stack and the wall. See the attached image for reference.
https://www.citycabinets.com/Kitchen-Tall-Cabinet-Fillers-s/102.htmGREEN ARROW:
The green arrow points to a base finished end panel. Yes, this panel is 3/4″ thick. Be sure to account for this thickness in your cabinet design, as it will slightly reduce the available width of the adjacent base cabinets. This ensures both sides of the sink remain balanced and equal in width.

Quotes can be generated by simply adding each cabinet to your shopping cart on the website. Each cabinet is organized into its own category, with multiple types and variations available to fit your needs. Start here:
https://www.citycabinets.com/Custom-RTA-Kitchen-Cabinets-s/319.htmAs you add items to the cart, pricing updates instantly, allowing you to see real-time totals as items are added, changed, or removed. This gives you the ability to create accurate, on-demand quotes without any delays.
Please note that we do not provide quotes via email, as the website already handles 100% of the estimating process. Manually preparing quotes for every inquiry would be extremely time-consuming, increase labor costs, and ultimately drive up the price of our cabinets. By using a fully automated quoting system, we are able to keep pricing competitive while maintaining a high-quality product.
Regarding the Slim Shaker door style, the “Spring 2026” label indicates it has not yet launched on CityCabinets.com. It is expected to be available there later next month. We have recently released Slim Shaker on BarkerDoor.com; however, that offering is for doors only and is currently still in beta, as it was just launched last week.

Sure see her for pics. Note the left side if white oak, the right side is red oak. Red oak is going to have a bit more of a warm color tone.

To have shelves included with your order, yes—ordering a wall cabinet that is 42″ tall or taller will include three shelves.
We also sell shelves separately. However, you will need to know the exact width and depth required for your cabinet. It is usually best to wait until your cabinets have arrived, then order additional shelves based on the size listed on the adjustable shelf label.
-
Custom paint colors are not available. Running small batches through our paint line significantly increases the cost of application, so it is usually more efficient and cost effective to order the doors with primer applied, then have them painted locally, either on site or by a local painter who can custom match and spray them.
Our finishing process is set up for high volume production, which limits our ability to run small custom batches without causing delays and disruptions in other areas. Thanks!
-
Matching custom profiles is not something we typically offer. We use insert cutters in our shapers that are both expensive and time consuming to put together, so it’s not practical for us to produce a small number of custom matched doors for a single project.
For the best match, your best option is to identify the original vendor and order directly from them. Otherwise, you may want to consider ordering new doors for all of the cabinets through barkerdoor.com and refacing the existing cabinets to match the new ones you plan to install.

No, I would not mix slab plywood doors with shaker doors in the same area. What we’ve done instead is add an option for drawer base cabinets. You can now order the cabinet in a shaker style, and under the “Top Drawer and False Fronts” dropdown, select “Solid Wood Slab / Flat Lower Fronts.”
This keeps the drawer fronts at the same 13/16″ thickness as the surrounding shaker door frames, maintains the correct horizontal grain direction (slab ply is vertical), and matches the same lumber and outside edge details as the shaker doors. This is exactly why we recently added this option to citycabinets.com.
I don’t have photos of this yet since it was just added, and we had actually prohibited ordering lower fronts this way for the past 20 years. That said, it should look great. Note that we used to do this back in the early 2000s with no aesthetic issues.
The only reason we discontinued it previously was because solid wood slab fronts can wrap or twist at larger heights. In this case, since they are mounted to a drawer box, the box front keeps everything stable, so it’s not a concern.

Actually, we used to offer this as a standalone door product on barkerdoor.com. We’ve since discontinued it due to issues with warping and bowing, and because the panels were limited to a maximum width of 24″. This created some production challenges, so we no longer offer this material and do not have plans to bring it back.
That said, I personally liked the product—it had a really clean, modern look. Thanks!
