## Abstract

The invention relates to a wall-mounted cabinet having a block-shaped cabinet carcass, the open front side of which can be closed with at least one cabinet door that is hinged to the cabinet carcass and is flush with the outer sides of the vertical side walls and of the horizontal top wall of the cabinet carcass in the closed position of the cabinet door, in particular a wall-mounted kitchen cabinet. In order for the wall-mounted cabinet to have at least one cabinet box, which regardless of whether the cabinet door is open or closed is always accessible for putting pots and pans, kitchen utensils, and the like in it and storing them, the invention provides that tilt fittings for a cabinet door embodied as a flap door are mounted on the inner sides of the side walls in the upper region of the cabinet carcass; that the tilt fittings are covered by inner walls; that the flap door is composed of an inner panel and an outer panel, which extends across an upper front region of the cabinet carcass from the outside of the top wall of the cabinet carcass to the top side of the lower cabinet box and with which the lowerable front coverings between the inner walls and the side walls of the cabinet carcass are associated; that the outer panel of the flap door extends at least across a lower region of the front side of the inner panel and extends as far as the top side of the lowermost cabinet box of the cabinet carcass; and that fixed front coverings, adjacent to lowerable front coverings, extend to the underside of the lowermost cabinet box of the cabinet carcass between the inner walls and the side walls of the cabinet carcass and are flush with the ends of the inner walls and of the side walls of the cabinet carcass.

## Claims
