Kitchen Kompact 36"W x 34-1/2"H x 24"D Glenwood Base Cabinet, Recessed Panel - GW36B

Kitchen Kompact Glenwood Base Cabinet Function

Kitchen Kompact Glenwood base cabinet GW36B is a 36 inch wide, 34-1/2 inch high, 24 inch deep base cabinet that provides a standard kitchen base footprint, so layouts tie into common counter heights and depths without custom modification. The cabinet uses a recessed panel Glenwood style, which sets the visual profile and allows the face to align with other Glenwood cabinets for a consistent run. All frames are built of solid 3/4 inch oak, maple, or beech, giving the front structure a hardwood build that supports door and drawer action under everyday use. The solid 3/4 inch frame depth gives installers predictable screw bite into hardwood at the front, which helps when hanging doors or aligning adjacent units. The cabinet sits in the Kitchen Kompact line, so it matches that family when a project mixes multiple Kitchen Kompact pieces in the same kitchen.

Key Construction Details That Support Daily Use

• All frames are built of solid 3/4 inch oak, maple, or beech, which gives the cabinet a hardwood face for holding hinges, adjusting fronts, and resisting racking during installation and daily door operation.
• Each rail is kiln-dried, joined by mortise and tenon, and then glued for added strength, so the frame joints are locked together in a traditional joinery method that helps the front stay square over time.
• Solid wood corner blocks are glued and power nailed, tying the cabinet corners together so the box resists twisting when leveled, shimmed, or moved into place between other base cabinets.
• Solid wood toe kicks, 3/4 inch thick, create a substantial front base so the cabinet interfaces cleanly with finished flooring and supports front loads along the lower edge.
• Solid wood hanging strips on base cabinets, located at the top and bottom, provide continuous solid attachment points along the back, simplifying anchoring the cabinet to wall framing.
• End panels use 3-ply construction with a 1/2 inch thick engineered wood core and hardwood veneers, giving a stable side panel that takes fasteners while presenting a hardwood veneer face.

Base Cabinet Sizing And Mounting Considerations

The 36 inch width of the Glenwood 36B sets it up as a standard base run cabinet, so it can anchor sink runs or work next to ranges where that width is required in a plan. The 34-1/2 inch height is sized to accept standard countertops to reach typical finished counter heights, which keeps transitions level when running tops across multiple cabinets. The 24 inch depth matches typical countertop depth, so the cabinet front aligns with other base units and appliances on the same wall. Solid wood hanging strips located at the top and bottom of the base cabinet rear give straight, solid lines for fastening into wall studs, which supports stable placement under the counter line. The solid 3/4 inch toe kick gives a defined front recess, so flooring and trim can be cut and finished to a consistent setback along the cabinet run.

How The Glenwood Base Cabinet Works In Kitchens

Where The Glenwood 36B Cabinet Fits Best

The Glenwood 36B base cabinet from Kitchen Kompact fits into layouts that call for a 36 inch wide base footprint, such as work zones where a larger cabinet section is needed. All frames being built of solid 3/4 inch oak, maple, or beech means the front matches hardwood-based kitchen lines, which is useful when coordinating with other Kitchen Kompact cabinets using similar materials. The recessed panel Glenwood design defines the door and drawer appearance, so installers can align this cabinet with other Glenwood units in a continuous run without style shifts. The 24 inch depth keeps the front edge in the same plane as common appliances that share that depth, which is important when running counters and toe kicks straight across. End panels using 3-ply construction with a 1/2 inch thick engineered wood core and hardwood veneers give a stable side that can sit against walls or neighboring cabinets while still showing a hardwood veneer face at exposed ends.

Construction Details That Support Reliable Results

Each rail on this Kitchen Kompact 36 inch base cabinet is kiln-dried, joined by mortise and tenon, and glued for added strength, so the frame resists movement at the joints while doors are adjusted and used. Solid wood corner blocks that are glued and power nailed tie the cabinet box together diagonally, which helps the cabinet stay square when it is leveled on uneven floors or clamped next to other bases. Solid wood hanging strips on wall and base cabinets, located at the top and bottom, give long, continuous hardwood zones for fasteners, which helps distribute loads into the structure rather than relying on thin backs. Solid wood toe kicks, 3/4 inch thick, provide a robust front base area so the toe space edge is less prone to damage from contact near the floor. The combination of hardwood frames and 3-ply engineered end panels with hardwood veneers balances strength at the front with panel stability at the sides, which supports long, straight cabinet runs in typical kitchen environments.
