A base end cabinet is a type of kitchen base cabinet designed to finish a run of cabinets at the end of a countertop or wall. It sits on the floor and provides storage space behind two hinged doors. Unlike standard base cabinets, an end cabinet often has finished sides so it looks good from both the front and exposed end.
 
📐 Key Features
Dimensions: ~24″ wide × 34‑1/2″ high × 24″ deep – a standard size for base cabinets in most kitchens.
Doors: Two hinged doors (2D) that open to reveal interior storage space.
Storage: Usually one or more adjustable interior shelves for organizing cookware, small appliances, pantry items, or kitchen tools.
Construction: Often built with plywood or engineered wood box, a hardwood or MDF face frame and doors, and soft‑close European‑style hinges for smooth opening.
Finish: Available in various finishes (e.g., shaker white, black, grey, or wood tone) to match cabinetry style. Some models include finished side panels so the cabinet end looks polished if exposed.
Use: Supports a countertop above and provides concealed storage below, helping complete the look and function of a run of kitchen cabinets.

💡 This cabinet is ideal for finishing off a kitchen layout on one end where you want both function (storage) and a finished look, especially when the side of the cabinet might be visible.
