A wall cabinet hangs 1450 mm off the floor, which leaves 500 mm of clear splashback above an 858 mm worktop. It is 350 mm deep rather than 560 — so you can work underneath without hitting your head — and its top is solid, because that is what carries the cabinet on its wall brackets.
On its own this cabinet uses only 12 % of the 3 sheets it consumes. That is normal, and it is why the app nests the whole job in one go: one carcass's offcuts take the small parts of the others.
On a base cabinet the top can be reduced to two stretchers: the cabinet stands on the floor. On a wall cabinet, all the weight travels through the top and sides to the wall brackets, and two stretchers do not offer the glue area for it.
So the generator requires a solid top as soon as the cabinet is hung, and a back housed in a groove rather than applied over the edges: a stapled back carries no load.
A wall cabinet deeper than 400 mm makes you crane your head back to see the rear of the worktop, and you end up hitting it standing up. 300 to 380 mm is the useful range; 350 is the common compromise, which still takes a 28 cm plate lying flat.
Depth is freely adjustable in the app, and the shelves, the pins and the back follow the change without touching anything else.
1450 mm from floor to the underside is the usual figure in Europe: it leaves about 500 mm of clear splashback above an 858 mm worktop, enough to stand a kettle or a mixer without fouling. Drop to 1400 mm for shorter users.
Adjustable hanging brackets screwed inside the side panels, picking up on a rail fixed to the wall: that is the system that lets you align one cabinet to the next. The generator reserves the bracket's space in the carcass but does not produce its holes, which depend on the reference.
