Somehow I came upon a site describing "partial inset doors" and

Jaques--that last term helped me get started). I learned inset and lip
of 3/8" are pretty standard as is a 1" reveal (maybe that's more
standard on kitchen cabinets, than tv-stands?)

Be careful now ...these days about the only thing in the kitchen cabinet
business that screams "CHEAP" louder than lipped (partial inset) cabinet
doors is attaching a fake stile to one lipped door in a two door
cabinet.

It was just a lesson I picked up, I'm not married to it.

An "inset" door adds more to the aura of craftsmanship, ay?

I agree that a "fake stile" would be off the charts cheap! it took me
a few seconds to even imagine one.

After I build a carcase, I can assess whether it will be able to support
inset doors or not--or maybe just one of each! : )
