Kitchen Cabinets
Kitchen cabinets offer a blend of functionality and versatility. These cabinets not only organize your kitchen space for you but also give guests a peek into your style and tastes. Spend sometime looking at the choices before you buy anything. There are endless possibilities when you want to buy a kitchen cabinet, but it all boils down to a few classifications. You can choose from framed or frameless cabinets, stock or custom made traditional, country or modern style and a wide variety of materials that include glass, metal, wood, veneer and laminate.
If you’re not planning to sell your Buffalo, NY area home soon or planning to move out of your home in the near future, don’t skimp when it comes to buying a kitchen cabinet. Whatever the type of kitchen cabinet, whether they’re antique kitchen cabinets, corner kitchen cabinets, kitchen wall cabinets, glass kitchen cabinets or wood kitchen cabinets, they need to be sturdy to stand the abuse of constant use. Choose cabinets with solid frames, doors and drawers and make sure that they have closed backs with reinforce corners. Also, make sure that the mechanical hardware can stand the everyday abuse of endless opening and closing.
If you’re planning to buy a wooden kitchen cabinet, it’ll help you to know what types of wood are popular with cabinet makers and how they rate on functionality. Oak has been a favorite with cabinet makers, and maple is yet another hot favorite. Maple is popular simply because of its light weight and regular grain texture. Yellow birch is yet another popular wood species, and is similar to maple in its versatility and strength, not to mention the wide variety of colors that it comes in. Hickory is a nice hardwood that can be used for a good staining finish and pinewood is inexpensive but needs special care. It needs extra preparation and handling as it is easy prone to burns and scratches.

I want to put cabinets in my laundry room. 93" wall to wall, want 30" high. Finish is not critical, and I'm looking for (solid wood) alternatives to new cabinets.
