I have a u-shape kitchen. It has VERY little counter top space becausethe center leg of the U is broken up by a door into the backyard. Thefourth wall is entirely blank, and I'd like to add some counter-topspace along it. I can't put a standard 24" deep base cabinet along thewall because it would stick out further than the lip of the door jam ofthe entry into the dining room (any of that make sense?). Are thereshallower base cabinets one can order? How shallow do they go?Could a cabinet builder make a custom cabinet of, say, 16" deep. Thisfourth wall is about 6 feet wide. It is a load bearing wall, but Icould consider moving it back into the front living room behind it if Ihad to go with a more expensive option.

You should be able to order the depth you need. If not it would be easy to cut the back off a regular depth cabinet.

Do they make shallow base cabinets?

I have a 16" deep base cabinet. It has drawers,14" deep.

I made the drawers and it wasn't any more difficult than any of the other drawers I made.

The difficult drawers were the 32" wide, 22" deep, 12" high ones. Using undermount slides rated at 100 lbs is where the difficulty comes in. Installation tolerances measured to 1/32". PITA but really strong and smooth once they are in.
