Design House Brookings 42" Sink Base Cabinet vs Horizon 18" Unfinished RTA Base Cabinet

Buy the Design House Brookings 42-inch sink base if you need a wide cabinet under a kitchen sink; its two soft-close doors and single drawer fit a 42-inch opening and the unfinished birch takes paint or stain. Buy the US-B18 Horizon if you need a narrow 18-inch base for a tight run or a filler cabinet; it has a single door, one drawer and three adjustable shelves. Both are unfinished ready-to-assemble plywood-box cabinets with soft-close hardware, so the choice comes down to width and layout, not build quality. Owners of similar RTA lines praise the soft-close doors and sturdy plywood boxes, but note that assembly and finishing take time and that unfinished fronts need sealing before use near water.

• Choose the Design House Brookings if you are fitting a 42-inch sink base and want two doors plus a drawer in one unit.
• Choose the US-B18 Horizon if you need an 18-inch single-door base with adjustable shelves for a narrow space.
