What are the differences between MDF and solid wood?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>MDF is more affordable than wood. You can buy MDF for as low as one-quarter of the wood price.</p></li><li><p>MDF is a smooth surface with no knots or woodgrain, which makes it easier to finish and cut with a saw. </p></li><li><p>MDF is a standard choice for shelving and trim.</p></li><li><p>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.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a scullery and a butler’s pantry?

• <div><p>There are key differences between a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/scullery-vs-butlers-pantry.htm">butler&rsquo;s pantry versus a scullery</a>. A butler's pantry, while much larger than a traditional pantry, is still a dry area primarily used for storage. A scullery, on the other hand, is basically an extra kitchen used for food prep, some storage, and dishware collection. Many sculleries have a dishwasher and sink to wash and store extra dishes, silverware, and servingware. </p></div>

Q: Can you use a steam cleaner on laminate cabinets?

• <div><p>No, we don&rsquo;t recommend using a steam cleaner on laminate surfaces, including kitchen cabinets. Steam can affect the structure of laminate cabinets, loosening the layers and causing them to warp. However, you can deep clean your laminate cabinets using other methods, such as soap and water or a vinegar mixture.</p></div>

Q: Is it hard to change hardware on cabinets?

• <div><p>Even the least DIY-savvy homeowner can replace cabinet hardware themselves. All you need is a drill, screwdriver, and a tape measure. However, always take the time to measure and fit carefully. Misalignment or dodgy drill holes can spoil the entire look of your cabinet makeover, and repairs or replacement cabinets can be costly.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain repaired cabinets?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, avoid water exposure, and tighten hardware to maintain functionality.</p></div>
