Cabinet Joints:
The photo below shows the front joint of a base 3-drawer kitchen cabinet where the solid wood face frame meets the plywood sides. You will notice that the sides are recessed 1/4" from the face frame. You can use an end panel skin to fill in this space with stain-grade material. If you choose to have a stain-grade finished side, you get a furniture-quality grade of plywood, but it will look almost the same from the top (and will still have the 1/4" recessed area).
The photo below shows the back joint of a base 3-drawer kitchen cabinet with full-extension glides.
The photo below shows the inside front of a combination vanity cabinet with a removable false drawer front at the top and drawers below:

Blind Base & Wall Cabinet Specifications:
Blind base cabinets need to be installed between 6-9 inches from the wall on the blind side. So, the part of the cabinet that will be hidden will only be 15-18 inches wide. The farther out you pull it from the wall, the more clearance you will have to open the door. Below you can see an example of a blind base cabinet with the blind side on the right.
The diagram below shows that a 36"W blind base cabinet requires 42-45" of space along the wall. The filler strip is recommended if you also need additional space to open the door of an adjacent base cabinet.
 
 
Blind wall cabinets can be placed between 0-3 inches from the wall on the blind side. Below you can see an example of a blind wall cabinet with the blind on the right.
