Types of commercial storage cabinets
Wall cabinets
Wall cabinets mount above work tables and sinks to store containers, chemicals, linens or small wares behind doors, keeping them clean and out of the work area.
Storage cabinets with and without backsplash
Base cabinets double as a work surface with enclosed storage below. Storage cabinets with backsplash sit against a wall, while storage cabinets without backsplash work as freestanding islands or between equipment.
Storage cabinets with drawers
Storage cabinets with drawers combine cabinet space with drawers for utensils, tools and paperwork, so everything has its place at the station.
Open cabinets
Open cabinets have shelves but no doors, giving quick access to pots, sheet pans and bulk items where speed matters more than enclosure.
Worktable drawers
Worktable drawers attach under a stainless steel work table to add storage for knives, utensils and small tools without taking up floor space.
How to choose a commercial storage cabinet

What you will store: enclosed cabinets with doors protect clean wares and supplies; open cabinets suit items you grab constantly.
Size and location: measure the wall or floor space, door swing and aisle width. Hinged doors need clearance; sliding doors save space in tight kitchens.
Stainless steel grade: type 304 stainless suits wet and sanitizing areas; type 430 is a cost-effective choice for dry storage.
Wall mounting: wall cabinets need solid backing behind the wall to carry the load. Plan anchoring before installation.
Top and backsplash: a cabinet with a solid top and backsplash can double as a work surface against a wall.
Cleaning and hygiene: smooth stainless steel surfaces, rounded corners and adjustable feet make it easier to clean under and around the cabinet.

Frequently asked questions
What are commercial kitchen cabinets made of?
Most commercial kitchen cabinets are made of stainless steel because it resists moisture, heat and corrosion and stands up to daily sanitizing. Painted or wood cabinets are generally not suitable in food prep areas.
Are stainless steel cabinets required in a restaurant kitchen?
Health codes generally require smooth, durable, non-absorbent and easy-to-clean surfaces in food areas. Stainless steel meets those requirements, which is why it is the standard choice.
Should I choose a wall cabinet or a base cabinet?
Wall cabinets free up floor and counter space, while base cabinets add a work surface with storage below. Many kitchens combine both at each station.
Can a storage cabinet be used as a work table?
Yes. Base storage cabinets have a solid top at about work-table height, so they can serve as a prep surface with enclosed storage below.
Can I add drawers to an existing work table?
In many cases, yes – worktable drawers are designed to mount under a standard stainless steel work table. Check the table’s size and frame before ordering.
