Base Back Panel
A profiled panel for the back of an island or peninsula — one piece across the run, recesses laid out to match your door style, finished to match the fronts.

Runs longer than 96" are made in two or more panels — we'll place the joint on a stile so it disappears.
CUSTOM SIZING
✓ Cut to your island's length and height — any size within the range above
✓ Order it longer to scribe to out-of-level floors
✓ Need something outside these ranges? We build custom all the time — ask your dealer and we'll confirm what's possible.
HOW IT'S BUILT
· One-piece applied panel in your door profile — same material as your doors: MDF for painted, veneer for stained, melamine or thermofoil as chosen
· Recess layout is set by the door style and the panel width — the number and spacing of recesses are worked out for each order
· 6½" bottom rail standard on painted and thermofoil, so the recesses stop above the toe-kick line
· White melamine back on painted and thermofoil (finished back on request) — stained panels are finished on all sides
· Screwed from inside the cabinets — no fasteners on the show face
Richelieu door line: back panels follow Richelieu's own configurations, recess layout and backs, which may differ from the above — we'll confirm at quote.
HOW TO ORDER
One panel per exposed back — tell us the cabinets it covers and the overall length
Ships flat. Install: screw through from inside the cabinets (screws not supplied). Pair with a Base End Panel on each exposed end for a fully finished island. For painted kitchens we can supply silicone tinted with the same paint for the small gaps.

PROFILE & FINISH CHOICES
6 door profiles + our Richelieu door line · painted, stained, thermofoil & melamine → Explore Finishes
Order the panel in the same profile and finish as your doors and the island reads as one piece of furniture. A contrasting island — stained or a darker paint against a lighter kitchen — is also a single line on the order.
