Q: Is it better to stain or paint old cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether it&rsquo;s better to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-paint-stain-wood.htm">stain or paint old cabinets</a> depends on your situation, as each option has pros and cons. Paint offers a smooth, modern look, while stain highlights the natural wood grain for a charming, rustic look. Painting cabinets may cost about 15% more than staining cabinets. While paint tends to be more durable against damage because of its thick coating, stained cabinets hide inevitable dings and scratches better than paint.</p></div>

Q: How can I tell if my walls are right for frameless cabinets?

• <div><p>Walls in good condition with an even surface should be fine for frameless cabinet installation. Older, uneven, or warped walls could create problems. Your studs and their spacing are especially important, since frameless cabinets rely so much on wall attachments. Call in a professional installer for a consultation if you aren&rsquo;t sure.</p></div>

Q: How thick should plywood be for shelves?

• <div><p>To successfully <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-shelf-unit.htm">build a shelf unit</a> with plywood, you&rsquo;ll need sheets that are at least 0.25 inches thick. Any thinner and your shelves will be flimsy and less likely to last. Expect to pay around $300 for a professional to build a basic shelving unit, or up to $1,300 for custom built-in shelves.</p></div>

Q: How are kitchen wall cabinets attached?

• <div><p>There are three primary ways to attach upper kitchen cabinets to a wall, and installers may use more than one method at a time. The most common method is to drive screws through the back of the cabinets and into studs in the wall behind. Sometimes cabinets are glued to the wall with strong adhesive. Often a combination of screws and adhesive is desirable. The last way is by hanging the cabinets on hardware brackets that attach to the wall before cabinet installation.</p></div>

Q: Is a pantry a cupboard?

• <div><p>Cupboards can be used in <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/ideas-organize-your-kitchen-pantry-cabinet.htm">pantries</a>, but a pantry in and of itself is not a cupboard. You can have a cupboard built into your pantry for a more custom look, where it would act as a separate piece of furniture or storage element from the rest of your shelves or drawers.</p></div>
