upper cabinet

Kitchen wall box

Upper cabinet refers to kitchen or bathroom cabinetry mounted on the wall above countertops, as distinguished from base cabinets that rest on the floor.

Upper cabinets typically store dishes, glasses, and items used less frequently: We put the good china in the upper cabinets.

The term appears most often in discussions of kitchen remodeling and interior design.
