Just found out a standard base cabinet wastes 6 inches of space behind the drawers
I was tearing apart a 30 inch base cabinet from a 1998 build in Portland and noticed the drawers only went back 18 inches. The dead space behind them was full of sawdust and a mummified mouse. I measure every cabinet I pull now and most are the same. How much dead space do you all plan for when you build your own boxes?
