    Even wall units are usually about 40cm deep.
    I think you'll have to DIY - cut a deeper unit or play with shelf units and doors.
    Standard wall units are 30cm, possibly slightly more with the door fitted.

    I had measured the two wall units I have here - Basic Cooke & Lewis from B&Q - 340mm deep including a ~20mm service void. Have used one as a base unit, but holes need to be drilled in the right spot for legs (simple enough task) unless you cut the spigots off the plastic legs.
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Well, I checked Ikea where it's 38.8

    I have these in my utility room, no handles on the doors, the work surface just over the top of the door.  Do the job beautifully, I was able to run a row of units in a very slim space.

    DIY Kitchens do loads of reduced depth base units. This one is 1000 wide, 300 deep. Just a standard cupboard. But they also have ones with drawers too, and loads of different door styles
