Horizon 30x36 Unfinished RTA Wall Cabinet vs Horizon 18" Unfinished RTA Base Cabinet

These are not substitutes: the 30x36 Horizon wall cabinet mounts above the counter, and the 18-inch Horizon base cabinet sits on the floor with a drawer. Buy the wall cabinet if you need upper storage over a sink, range or open counter. Buy the base cabinet if you need a narrow lower unit with a drawer for utensils or a trash pull-out. Both are unfinished ready-to-assemble Horizon boxes, so the build and finish match; the base cabinet adds soft-close doors and a soft-close under-mount drawer glide, while the wall cabinet is a plainer double-door box with three shelves.

  • Choose the Horizon 30x36 wall cabinet if you are filling upper wall space and want two doors and three shelves over a counter or appliance.
  • Choose the Horizon 18-inch base cabinet if you need a narrow floor unit with a drawer and soft-close hardware.

Questions and answers

Can I use these two together in one kitchen?
Yes. They are both Horizon unfinished RTA cabinets, so the door style and finish match. The wall cabinet goes above the counter and the base cabinet goes below it, typically in different runs rather than stacked.
Which one is better over a sink or range?
The 30x36 wall cabinet. It is 12 inches deep, which clears most faucets and hoods, and its 36-inch height gives three shelves of upper storage. The base cabinet is meant for the floor line.
Which has better hardware?
The base cabinet. It lists soft-close European hinges and a soft-close full-extension under-mount drawer glide. The wall cabinet's listing does not specify soft-close hinges or a drawer.
Do I need to finish them?
Yes for the outside. Both are unfinished, so they need paint or stain and a topcoat. The base cabinet's interior is already clear-coated natural maple; the wall cabinet's interior is unfinished.
Is the base cabinet worth stepping up to over a plain box?
If you want a drawer and soft-close hardware in a narrow space, yes. The plywood box and finished interior also hold up better in a wet kitchen than an unfinished interior.
How much assembly is involved?
Both are ready-to-assemble, so you join the panels, install the shelves and hang the doors yourself. The base cabinet has more parts because of the drawer and its glides.
