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: Is it worth it to replace the bottom of kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Yes, the base of your cabinets is a vital component, making up the main structure. If it&rsquo;s damaged, repairing it or replacing it is necessary to continue using your cabinets. Consult a cabinet repair professional to evaluate the status of your cabinet bottoms before moving forward with a plan of action. </p></div>

Q: Do I need special tools for drawer construction?

• <div><p>Basic drawer construction requires standard tools, including a saw, drill, measuring tools, and clamps. Advanced joinery benefits from table saw or router capabilities. Most DIYers can complete simple drawers with tools they already own or can borrow.</p></div>

Q: How tall should stacked cabinets be?

• <div><p>It depends on your ceiling height. Wall cabinets are typically mounted 54 inches from the floor. So, if you have eight-foot ceilings, you&rsquo;ll need 42-inch-high wall cabinets to fill the gap. And you&rsquo;ll need 54-inch cabinets if you have nine-foot ceilings. But standard-sized cabinets don&rsquo;t come in 54 inches, so you'll need to stack various sizes together. And, if you have ceilings higher than nine feet, it&rsquo;s a good idea to have custom stacked cabinets made to fill your space.</p></div>

Q: What is the best thing to clean cabinets with?

• <div><p>The best way to clean kitchen cabinets is to use a soft cloth soaked in warm water and mild dish soap. For areas that require a stronger solution, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar is the best choice. If your cabinets are made of sealed hardwood, you can deep clean them using a steam cleaner, but other cabinet materials are exempt from this type of cleaning.</p></div>

Larry was great to work with, he was well worth the wait. It did take sometime, to get to the top of his, to do list. And I still don't have my door facings, I had asked him to do, when he delivered the cabinets. But I think, we are both guilty of putting it off.
