Q: Are my kitchen cabinets made of wood?

• <div><p>Yes, likely. Most kitchen cabinets are plywood or medium-density fiberboard (MDF). Plywood is an engineered wood made by layering, pressing, and bonding thin sheets of wood veneer together. MDF is an engineered wood made by combining wood fibers with resin and wax. Both are cheaper than solid wood, but advances in the durability of MDF make it a closer alternative to the real thing.</p></div>

Q: Do I need special tools for drawer construction?

• <div><p>Basic drawer construction requires standard tools, including a saw, drill, measuring tools, and clamps. Advanced joinery benefits from table saw or router capabilities. Most DIYers can complete simple drawers with tools they already own or can borrow.</p></div>

Q: How long do cabinets last?

• <div><p>Cabinets should last about <b>20 years</b>. Of course, the total lifespan of your cabinet depends on the wear and tear it&rsquo;s put through&mdash;the more use and handling, the faster it's prone to needing repair. When looking at your cabinets, look for the following to determine if they need to be repaired or replaced:</p><ul><li><p>Scratches or dents </p></li><li><p>Water damage</p></li><li><p>Unpleasant smells </p></li><li><p>Outdated cabinetry</p></li><li><p>Continuous dirty or dingy look </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Should you pack dishes vertically or horizontally?

• <div><p>It is a good rule to always pack dishes vertically rather than flat. When you place your dishes upright, like records in a crate, the pressure from the weight of the other plates reduces, minimizing potential damage. Also, ensure you use cushioning between each plate and that the box is well-padded. </p></div>
