The face frame of my 36-inch-wide kitchen cabinets have a middle stile that is 3 1/4" wide. I am considering cutting them out of the face frame because I want to be able to build wider pull-out shelves for these kitchen cabinets. With them in the way, the pull-out shelves can only be 13 3/4" wide (instead of 34" wide) and the space behind the middle stile is wasted. Correct me if I am wrong, but I would think they are there for structural support. Therefore, I plan to attach a strip of oak to the back of the mid rail to compensate for the missing middle stile. Granite counter top is on top of these cabinets. Just as the title of the post, is there any harm in cutting out the middle stile in order to use the full width of the cabinet for pull-out shelves?
