I have made a lot of kitchen cabinets, but I have never decided for sure what standard 24 inch depth means--is it the overall depth of the carcase, or is it the overall depth of the cabinet with drawers and doors installed? A 24 inch carcase with overlay doors has a total overall depth of 24 13/16" or so with overlay doors. Countertops are
25" deep typically or maybe a bit more, and they won't overhang the outer face of the cabinet by very much if you have overlay doors and a 24" carcase. Everybody in the world knows the answer here but me, I imagine.- posted
