Ah, span. There's another word that I can add to my list.
When dealing with cabinetmakers and others who think they are speaking clearly about dimensions, keep in mind the three dimensions: height, length, width, depth, breadth, thickness, span, and gauge. Those are the three dimensions.
Other words come up which aren't strictly dimensions, such as tall and short, but those are not nouns. They can distract one from having a concise vocabulary for naming things!

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
