What Does a Full Kitchen Cabinet Package Include for a Chicago Home?

A full kitchen cabinet package includes every box in the layout (base, wall, tall and specialty cabinets) plus the pieces that finish the installation: fillers, finished end panels, toe kick, crown and light rail molding, and scribe. Hinges and drawer glides come installed; knobs, pulls, organizers and countertops are usually separate line items. A full-home package adds bathroom vanities, laundry and mudroom cabinets in matching styles.

Key takeaways

• A complete package is the box list plus trim; missing trim is the most common gap.
• Ask what hardware is included: hinges and glides usually are, decorative knobs and pulls often are not.
• Full-home packages coordinate kitchen, bath and laundry cabinets in one order.
• Compare packages by line item, not by total.

Components of a full kitchen cabinet package

Understanding a Full Kitchen Cabinet Package

1. Base Cabinets

Base cabinets carry the countertop and hold the heaviest items. A typical package mixes door bases, drawer bases near the range and a sink base. Standard base cabinets are 24 inches deep.

2. Wall Cabinets

Wall cabinets store dishes and glassware, typically 12 inches deep, in heights chosen to suit the ceiling and the look.

3. Tall Cabinets

Pantry and oven cabinets add storage and house wall ovens or microwaves.

4. Drawer Boxes and Glides

Quality packages use solid-wood dovetail drawers on full-extension soft-close glides.

5. Shelving

Adjustable shelves in base and wall cabinets; thick plywood shelves resist sagging.

6. Trim and Finishing Pieces

Fillers, end panels, toe kick, crown, light rail and scribe give the kitchen a built-in look. Order them in the same finish as the doors.

7. Corner Cabinets

Lazy Susans and blind corner units make corners usable; see our guide to corner cabinet solutions.

8. Hardware and Accessories

Confirm whether knobs, pulls and organizers are included or priced separately.

Full-home cabinetry packages

For new construction and whole-house remodels, a full-home package adds:

• Bathroom vanity cabinets, sized to each vanity top
• Laundry room base and wall cabinets
• Mudroom tall cabinets and storage
• Bar or butler’s pantry cabinets

Using one supplier and coordinated door styles keeps finishes consistent through the house.

How to make sure the package is complete

1. Start from a measured layout with every wall drawn.
2. List every cabinet with its code and width.
3. Add fillers at every wall end and inside corner.
4. Add end panels for exposed sides and island backs.
5. Add toe kick, crown, light rail and scribe lengths.
6. Count hardware for every door and drawer.
7. Check the written confirmation line by line.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in a full home cabinetry package?

A full home cabinetry package includes the kitchen cabinets (base, wall, tall and specialty units), trim such as fillers, end panels, toe kick and crown, plus bathroom vanities and laundry or mudroom cabinets in coordinated styles. Countertops and decorative hardware are usually separate, so confirm what each quote includes.

What are the different components of kitchen cabinets?

A kitchen cabinet has a box (sides, bottom, back and shelves), a face frame on framed cabinets, doors and drawer fronts, drawer boxes on glides, and hinges. Around the cabinets, fillers, end panels, toe kick and moldings finish the installation.

Does a cabinet package include knobs and pulls?

Often not. Hinges and drawer glides come installed on the cabinets, but decorative knobs and pulls are usually chosen and priced separately because styles and finishes vary so much. Ask each supplier whether hardware is included before comparing quotes.

Are countertops part of a kitchen cabinet package?

Usually not. Countertops are typically templated and fabricated by a separate fabricator after the cabinets are installed and level. Include them in the overall kitchen budget and schedule, but expect them to be a separate contract.
