I have made a lot of kitchen cabinets, but I have never decided for

overall depth of 24 13/16" or so with overlay doors. *Countertops are
25" deep typically or maybe a bit more, and they won't overhang the
outer face of the cabinet by very much if you have overlay doors and a
24" carcase. *Everybody in the world knows the answer here but me, I

Have you gone to a store to look at ready-made cabinets, or are you in
the middle of the desert?
