How to Measure for RTA Cabinets Before You Order

Measuring for RTA cabinets is the same basic exercise as any cabinet, but the flat-packed nature raises the stakes on a couple of details that are easy to skip.

Measure the wall, not the old cabinets

Measure the actual wall space after old cabinets are removed, not their footprint — old runs can hide uneven walls.

Plan the width breakdown before you order

Map your total wall length into a specific combination of stock cabinet widths before ordering, and leave room for fillers, since almost no wall divides evenly into standard widths.

Confirm clearances and assembly space

Check depth and height clearances the same way you would for any cabinet, and make sure you have a flat, open area to assemble in. Once you know your wall breakdown, you can search BeeBoard by exact width, height, and depth.
