# Base cabinet

A base cabinet sits on the floor and supports the countertop, and it holds the sink, drawers and most of the everyday storage in a kitchen.

Base cabinets form the lower row of a kitchen. They carry the countertop and hold doors, drawers and shelves. Sizes follow a standard grid, so cabinets from one line line up.

The 2023 Innovation Cabinetry catalog lists standard base cabinets that are 34.5 inches high and 24 inches deep, in widths from 9 to 42 inches. Endura outdoor bases come in depths of 24, 27 and 30 inches. Maverick Garageworx base models start at 15 inches wide.

A base cabinet needs level support. Legs or a [toe kick](https://innovationcabinetry.multisites.ai/glossary/toe-kick) base set the height. Pair it with a [wall cabinet](https://innovationcabinetry.multisites.ai/glossary/wall-cabinet) and a tall cabinet to plan a full run. See [EliteCraft](https://innovationcabinetry.multisites.ai/elitecraft_cabinetry), [Endura](https://innovationcabinetry.multisites.ai/endura) and the [Maverick Garageworx page](https://innovationcabinetry.multisites.ai/maverick_garageworx_cabinetry). Your dealer can turn your room measurements into a base cabinet layout.
