to look beyond the plans.
Good

parts
A detailed drawing of the cabinet with measurements
given. Also certain important areas of the plan in detail
1:1. Especially for the corner areas of the kitchen cabinet
the plans should be very detailed.
Overview with three dimensional drawings. Very important
especially at the beginning is to get an overview on
the kitchen cabinet. The plans should include some perspective
drawings where you can get an idea of what the furniture
will look like as seen from different angles.
Very
obvious but not always included in every kind of kitchen
cabinet plans are step-by-step instructions. The more
detailed these written instructions are the better

comprehensive material and parts lists. Perhaps even
showing the sources for each part. This is key especially
if you need to find a certain drawer guide recommended
in the plans. Same with any hinges or locks mentioned.
Especially here it is important to get some alternative
product listed, just in case you run into difficulties
finding them.
To sum it up, good kitchen cabinet plans include detailed
drawings with three dimensional views. Easy to understand
instructions sometimes accompanied by a video, a list
of all parts and materials used with details where to
get them. Having in mind these vital parts, it should
be easier to find excellent kitchen cabinet plans for
you.
