Characteristics of High-Quality Cabinets
High-Quality cabinets should look stunning and provide functional, easy-to-use storage for at least twenty or thirty years. But many people have cabinet problems much sooner than this, reporting issues such as crooked doors, sagging, deteriorating drawers, scratched and dented faces, loose hinges, and warping boxes. These problems occur because of low-quality cabinet construction.
