Q: Should I use handles or knobs on upper cabinets?

• <div><p>You can use either handles or knobs on upper cabinets&mdash;go with what you like best. Pulls can sometimes make hard-to-reach upper cabinets easier to open, which is why it&rsquo;s common to see kitchens that have handles on upper cabinets and knobs on drawers and base cabinets. But it&rsquo;s also common to use knobs on doors and pulls on drawers. Let your aesthetics, budget, and practical considerations about how you use your cabinets dictate your decision. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect outdoor kitchen costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on materials, labor, appliances, and whether electrical or plumbing modifications are required.</p></div>

Q: What is the most common material for cabinet bases?

• <div><p>Solid wood is the most common material for cabinet bases. It&rsquo;s a popular choice because it&rsquo;s durable and will hold up over time. Oak, maple, cherry, hickory, and pine are all types of solid wood that can be used to build cabinet bases. Other options include plywood, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard</a>, and other types of manufactured lumber, but they need to be sealed properly to avoid swelling, separating, and delamination from moisture.</p></div>

Q: Do medicine cabinets come in standard sizes?

• <div><p>While there is no standard size for a medicine cabinet, they can range in size from 15 inches to 24 inches wide and are typically between 20 and 22 inches tall. There are plenty of medicine cabinet types that fall outside these parameters though, so it&rsquo;s a good idea to measure your space before you go searching for the perfect cabinet.</p></div>
