Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

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.

The method you use to remove your kitchen cabinet drawers depends solely on the type of drawer slides your cabinet style has. Old kitchen cabinets might have wooden, metal, or plastic slides that simply require you to lift or lower the front edge of the drawer. This action disengages the stop mechanism. Other types will require you to activate levers or tabs to physically disconnect one half of the slide from the other.

Clean regularly, avoid overloading shelves, and check hardware for wear to ensure longevity.

Cabinets typically don't require complex cutting or even complex joinery. Of course, some custom cabinets may include these things, but constructing high-quality and attractive cabinets is something that DIYers with moderate skills can handle. Building cabinets isn't hard. However, it's essential to take your time, at least on the first few, to get the hang of it.

When comparing wood versus MDF, there are some widespread misconceptions that solid wood is more reliable and durable. Despite this common belief, wood isn't always a superior choice and MDF may be a better building material choice in some cases. Here are some examples:

  • MDF is more affordable than wood. You can buy MDF for as low as one-quarter of the wood price.

  • MDF is a smooth surface with no knots or woodgrain, which makes it easier to finish and cut with a saw. 

  • MDF is a standard choice for shelving and trim.

  • Unlike MDF, solid wood isn't the best option for cabinets or drawers. It can shrink, crack, or bend in response to changes in temperature and humidity, while MDF has a high moisture and fire resistance level and is less likely to break or warp.
