To measure for do it yourself pull-out shelves simply check the depth from the inside edge of the kitchen cabinet face frame (the back side) to the back wall of the cabinet (dimension B). Watch out for any protrusions such as pipes or electric wires or outlets and adjust the size accordingly.
Also question is, how do you measure an inside cabinet?
With your tape measure you want to measure on the inside of the frame. Measure from inside edge to inside edge and then notate that number, this will be your rough opening measurement. Do this for both the width and height for each door. Write down your measurement width x height for each inside frame measure.

- Measure the depth of the upper shelves.
In respect to this, how do you measure a drawer slide?
Measure from the back of the drawer-front to the end of the drawer box. Only measure the box, do not include the drawer front. Round the measurement off to the lower number on the tape. For example, when the measurement is 22 1/2 inches, you need to purchase 22-inch drawer slides.
