I'd pull them out to 15". But then again, I did all of my uppers at 15" and love it ;) SO I'm perhaps biased. Really though, to keep your reach easier, I'd pull them out the same as you've pulled out your base cabs (3 additional inches) and it should flow well. In addition, if it's not a totally custom build, going in three inch increments is much less expensive than going out an odd figure (ie 2.5 or 1.75etc).

I also love my deep upper cabinets. (Same as igloochic, 15-inches deep)

I was most worried about reaching stuff in my deep upper corner cabinets but the way things worked out, I favored the neighboring uppers and basically the corner is all but dead space. (If I could have opened up the wall in the bathroom that backs up to the kitchen, I would have created cabinet/shelving from that side.)

I also paid attention to how the kitchen lighting would work and do have under-cabinet lighting that I've used, although not often. I do see myself using it more often though.

I have 15" uppers too and love them. I have to use a step stool only for the upper shelves. Looks great and you can store a ton of stuff including the 12" soup plates that wouldn't fit anywhere else. c

You asked this earlier as well...it's linked below and has some responses.

Here is a link that might be useful: Thread: How Deep to Make Wall Cabs if ..

Thanks for the link Buehl- I thought I posted, but then couldn't find it. so I posted again. I'm still not sure why I couldn't find it the first time. So thanks, because I would have found the additional responses. Cook1
