What is a "toe kick"?
A toe kick is the space at the bottom of cabinets or furniture, usually between the floor and the cabinet. It is designed to provide room for a person’s feet when standing close to the cabinet, making it easier to reach into drawers or shelves. The toe kick area is often recessed, typically a few inches deep and high, allowing for more comfortable access without having to bend down too much. It also helps with the overall look of the cabinet, as it gives a clean, finished appearance.
