Kitchen Kompact Chadwood base cabinet gives you a 42 inch wide, 32-1/2 inch high, 24 inch deep cabinet that forms a full-size ADA-oriented base run. That size provides broad counter support while keeping the working height within typical ADA planning dimensions. The cabinet uses the Chadwood recessed panel style, so doors and drawer fronts present a recessed face that matches other Chadwood components in the same line. This consistent panel profile helps installers keep a uniform look across adjacent cabinets when finishing a run. The product is identified as CWUD42B and described as a universal design 42 base, tying it directly to Kitchen Kompact's universal design offering. That labeling helps shops and contractors match this part to drawings or bid lists that call out the CWUD42B designation.
The cabinet height of 32-1/2 inches works with accessible countertop designs where a lower finished height is required throughout the run. That cabinet body size supports planning for ADA-oriented work surfaces without relying on field alteration of standard-height bases. The depth of 24 inches lines up with typical base cabinet footprints, so this unit can be mixed into standard-depth layouts while maintaining a straight front edge for the counter. A toe kick dimension noted as 4 inches high by 3 inches deep sets the recess at the bottom, giving space at floor level for foot clearance. That defined toe space helps installers maintain a consistent front setback, which keeps base faces in line when multiple cabinets share a toe kick line.
The CWUD42B 42 inch base cabinet serves as a wide unit in a Kitchen Kompact Chadwood layout, helping bridge longer wall sections with fewer seams. Its 42 inch span can reduce the number of separate bases needed in a run, which can simplify alignment of doors, recessed panels, and drawers. The universal design description connects this cabinet to accessible planning, so it is suited to layouts where lower working height is used across all base units. With a 24 inch depth, this cabinet fits into typical kitchen or utility room lines that rely on standard-depth counters. The recessed panel Chadwood style keeps door and drawer faces visually consistent with matching wall and tall units in the same series, making this base useful as a coordinating piece in full-room Chadwood installations.
The 4 inch high by 3 inch deep toe kick detail shapes the lower recess along the floor, which is important when laying out continuous bases. That defined measurement helps establish a predictable kick line, so multiple CWUD42B units, or a mix of universal design bases and other compatible bases, can share one continuous toe space. In practice, that supports a smoother front profile from cabinet to cabinet. The product description notes functioning drawers, indicating that the drawer components are active storage areas rather than fixed fronts. Functioning drawers give end users additional accessible storage within the same footprint, and for installers this means the drawer sections need to be aligned carefully during setting to keep the recessed panel fronts even. The reference to 3 inch side stiles describes the vertical framing at each side of the face, which adds visual width to the frame around the recessed center panel and can assist when aligning doors with adjacent cabinets that follow the same stile dimension.
The CWUD42B base cabinet measures 42 inches wide, 32-1/2 inches high, and 24 inches deep, so it fills a wide base position while staying within standard cabinet depth.
The 32-1/2 inch cabinet height supports lower finished countertop elevations used in ADA-oriented designs, helping align the work surface to accessible height requirements along the base run.
The 4 inch high by 3 inch deep toe kick creates floor-level recess for foot space, which helps maintain a consistent setback line when multiple bases share a continuous toe area.
The 3 inch side stiles describe the width of the vertical face framing at each side, giving a broader frame around the recessed panel and guiding visual alignment with adjacent Chadwood units.
Functioning drawers provide active storage within the base footprint, allowing small items to be organized at the front of the cabinet while keeping the recessed panel look consistent.
The Chadwood recessed panel style indicates doors and drawer fronts use a recessed center panel, so this base visually matches other Chadwood cabinets in the same Kitchen Kompact line.
This Kitchen Kompact Chadwood base cabinet combines a 42 inch width, 32-1/2 inch height, and 24 inch depth with a 4 inch by 3 inch toe kick, giving installers a defined universal design body to work into ADA-oriented layouts. The recessed panel Chadwood styling, 3 inch side stiles, and functioning drawers keep the cabinet aligned with the rest of the Chadwood series while adding usable storage. When a plan calls out CHADWOOD UNIVERSAL DESIGN 42 BASE or CWUD42B, this cabinet matches that description so it can be placed confidently into the specified base position.
