Cabinet pull-out baskets are an integral part of the overall kitchen cabinetry, designed to maximize the use of cabinet space. The dimensions of cabinet pull-out baskets vary based on the specifications of the overall cabinets, typically designed and standardized by manufacturers according to common cabinet sizes. But what are the common sizes for kitchen pull-out baskets? How should one select a kitchen pull-out basket? These questions will be answered in the following article.
I. Introduction to Kitchen Pull-out Basket Sizes Since the size of cabinet pull-out baskets is tailored to the size of the cabinet body, and common cabinet body sizes in our daily lives include 600mm, 700mm, 720mm, 750mm, 800mm, and 900mm cabinets, what are the corresponding sizes for cabinet pull-out baskets?
- Common cabinet pull-out basket sizes (width * height/cm) with a depth of 42cm: For a 600 cabinet, it’s 52.314cm; for a 700 cabinet, it’s 62.314cm; for a 720 cabinet, it’s 64.314cm; for a 750 cabinet, it’s 66.614cm; for an 800 cabinet, it’s 72.314cm; for a 900 cabinet, it’s 82.314cm.

II. Pull-out Basket Selection Tips ① Pull-out baskets are generally custom-made to fit the cabinet dimensions, so the provided cabinet measurements must be precise. ② The weld points of the pull-out basket should be full, with no virtual welding. ③ The surface of the pull-out basket should be smooth, with a comfortable touch and no burrs. ④ A crucial point when selecting a pull-out basket is not to mistake chrome-plated ones for stainless steel ones.
- Examine the appearance Firstly, the appearance should be neat and not messy, with all four corners at 90 degrees, the framework balanced, the bottom material evenly arranged, no coating on the surface, and no burrs or rough spots upon touch.
- Check the luster The color should exhibit the unique temperament of stainless steel—a silver, mirror-like finish. The mirror-like surface is bright, and the appearance is exquisite. If the surface treatment process is not advanced, the surface will be a blurry silver gray (satin), which greatly affects the appearance, making it look low-end, not exquisite, noble, or elegant.
- Inspect the weld points Weld points should not be too large. Large weld points are unattractive and often indicate virtual welding, which is not sturdy. They should be slightly smaller than the size of the two materials being welded.
Lastly, select the configuration Configuration is the most important part of the entire pull-out basket set.
Configuration one: Drawer slides, which have a certain load-bearing capacity, should be chosen for their thick material, high smoothness, high meshing, and low noise.
Configuration two: Fasteners should be made of stainless steel. Iron pieces are prone to rusting and can affect the aesthetic and hygiene of the inner side of the door panel.
