A base end shelf cabinet is a floor‑standing kitchen cabinet typically installed at the end of a row of base cabinets or at an island end. It’s narrower (12″ wide) than regular base cabinets and offers open or closed shelf storage, making it ideal for small items, cookbooks, decorative pieces, or everyday kitchen essentials.
