Almost nothing gets a bigger return for your investment dollars than a remodeled kitchen with new cabinetry. The consumer must take a close look at samples on the showroom floor as well as research the manufacturers they are considering to assure they are getting the value and quality they desire. Consumers have many price points available to them.
The most affordable are stock cabinets that come in standard sizes and offer few modification options. Next in price are mid-range and then premium cabinets with more options and construction features. Top end, custom-built cabinets offer nearly endless customization options but are pricey. But regardless what price range you are considering, there are guidelines you should follow to choose cabinets that will stand up to use and look great for years to come. When shopping for Cabinets in Tucson, ask questions to become educated about cabinet options and construction techniques.
The best material for the construction of the cabinet box is furniture grade plywood. It is rigid, will not warp and provides great strength. Plywood thickness should be 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick and no less. An affordable alternative to plywood is medium-density fibreboard, also known as MDF. MDF is not particleboard. Quality cabinet boxes are made from plywood or MDF and covered with a thin layer of real wood veneer. This is the best practice because large pieces of solid wood can warp and crack. Plywood and MDF are stable, tough, and keep their shape.
Good cabinetry should have solid wood trim around the cabinet box and the doors. Drawers get heavy use so choose drawers that offer dovetail construction and drawer glide hardware. Stay away from glued and stapled drawer construction. Drawer fronts should also be made of solid wood. Naturally, stain and wood grain choices abound. Stock cabinets do not offer as many options, but as the price increases your options become more plentiful. The same is true for decorative hardware.
