However, the unique feature of under sink cabinets is the depth, which averages between 24 inches to 30 inches. This depth is necessary to accommodate drain lines, water supply lines, and the sink's depth itself.

24" Wide Cabinets

The 24-inch wide under sink cabinet is generally ideal for smaller kitchens or homes with narrow cabinets. They can accommodate a 20-24" wide sink, and their depth ranges from 24" to 30".
