carcass

... is the correct term if talking about kitchen cupboards, i.e. the frame on to which the doors, etc, are fitted.
Peer comment(s):
neutral Dipl.-Ing. Robert Bach (X) : I knew I had skeletons in my closet, but I did not know I had carcasses in my kitchen. I had to research this before I believed it. And though I have installed very many of them, I have never heard them called that.
