From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Casework is the aggregate assembled parts (including framework, finish, doors, drawers, etc.) which make up a case or cabinet. [1] This is different from millwork which are the more specific woodworking-mill products such as trim moldings, wood paneling, etc. Casework heights varies based on user which are subject to ADA requirements.
