Cabinet Making questions, answered by experts

Shaker cabinets are best defined by their square edges and recessed center panel, which is surrounded by two rails and two stiles. These cabinets can feature a full inset, a full overlay, or a partial overlay. While this cabinet design may have originated in the 1800s, the clean, crisp lines are ideal for modern styles, making them a popular option for all types of kitchens.

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.

Concealed cabinet hinges stay entirely hidden when the cabinet door is closed. These are sometimes called European-style hinges, but they can be found on all types of cabinets, including many popular home styles. That’s good news when you want to make cabinet adjustments: Concealed door hinges are even more likely to come with adjustment screws to alter the hinge until the door is in the right place.

Many kitchens have their original cabinets, so kitchen cabinets can last as long as the house does. If there’s an issue with your sink, a flood, or a fire, your cabinets could be damaged. Outside of that, with proper care, your cabinets should last quite a while, especially if they’re built from long-lasting materials like wood or steel.

If you’re looking for shelving that will stand up to years of heavy stacking, plywood is the clear winner against MDF (a.k.a. medium-density fiberboard). Plywood is a sturdy material that resists sagging, warping, and splitting, making it the perfect fit for shelving in a variety of spaces. For sheds, garages, and other environments that aren’t climate-controlled, wood or plywood is a must, as moisture and humidity will cause MDF to warp over time. While MDF is the more wallet-friendly material, it should only be used for storing lighter items in a climate-controlled space.
