There are a variety of materials that you can use for your kitchen cabinets, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The most popular materials are:
MDF
MDF (medium-density fiberboard): MDF is a less expensive alternative to solid wood, and it can be painted or veneered to achieve a variety of finishes. However, it is not as durable as solid wood and can be prone to water damage.
Particle board
This material can be used in wardrobes as a cheaper alternative to MDF. The reason it is rarely used is because it can only be used in a waterproof environment.
Solid wood
Solid wood provides a beautiful finish but tends to be used on rare occasions as it can be prohibitively expensive.
Compact laminate
A water resistant material that is made of compressed laminate.
