Design House Brookings 12" Wall Cabinet vs Unfinished Shaker Wall Cabinet 18" Wide x 30" Tall

Both are unfinished Shaker wall cabinets 30 inches tall and 12 inches deep, so the real choice is width and how much assembly you want. The Design House Brookings is a 12-inch cabinet that arrives flat and snaps together, which suits tight gaps and DIY installs. The 18-inch cabinet is wider, ships assembled, uses soft-close concealed hinges, and has a UV-finished plywood interior with no MDF or particleboard. Reviewers rate the 18-inch model highly, and owners of unfinished Shaker cabinets generally praise the solid plywood build; the Brookings gets less feedback, so treat its 1-year warranty as the safer expectation.

• Choose the Design House Brookings if you need a narrow 12-inch filler cabinet for a tight wall run and don't mind assembling it yourself.
• Choose the 18-inch Unfinished Shaker if you want more storage per cabinet, an assembled box, and soft-close hinges out of the box.
