Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

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.

Apply a sealant to your cabinets to repel water and moisture. This will help prevent further water damage from developing, such as mold and rotting wood. Lacquer, polyurethane, and varnish are commonly used sealants with waterproofing abilities. Brush them onto your cabinets and follow the manufacturer's instructions on drying time, which can take up to several hours.

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.

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.

Yes. It’s common to have a combination of knobs and pulls for drawers and cabinets. There are usually a few different-sized cabinet doors or drawer fronts that look better with different scales of handles, or you might prefer one type of handle for a drawer front and a different one for a cabinet door. Be sure to choose handles of the same overall type when you mix and match and avoid using more than three types in one room to make sure everything flows together.
