柜是指一个由盒组成的家具，它可以是一件独立的家具，又或者是置入于墙内。柜的最主要功能是存放物品，因此柜由一对或多于一对的门组成，门上并设有门手，方便打开。打开门后，便可将物品收于柜内。柜泛指一般保存物品的盒，但如果该柜具有特定的用途，便可称作为衣柜、书柜或橱柜。

A cabinet is a box-shaped piece of furniture with doors or drawers for storing miscellaneous items. Some cabinets stand alone while others are built into a wall or are attached to it like a medicine cabinet. Cabinets are typically made of wood or, now increasingly, of synthetic materials. Commercial grade cabinets, which differ in the materials used, are called casework.
