If you’re looking for an elegant kitchen cabinet, wood is the only choice. It gives you that understated look that’s stylish and easy to maintain. Wood gives your cabinets a look that is warm and classy but takes a little effort on your part to keep it looking good. You have a choice of several types of wood and finishes. Choose from framed and frameless cabinets, stock and custom cabinets, and traditional and contemporary when it comes to style.
Stock cabinets are those that you can buy off the rack in many stores and are prefabricated. Custom cabinets are built to the customer’s specification and are invariably more expensive and more detailed. They are usually built onsite which means that they are built at your home rather than brought over. You can choose from a variety of finishes and types of wood that include cherry cabinets, maple cabinets, oak cabinets, bamboo cabinets, birch cabinets, hickory cabinets, oak cabinets and pine cabinets.
Choose from hardwood or softwood when you’re shopping for a kitchen cabinet. Hardwood is easier to work with and softwoods are difficult to cut. Prices vary with different kinds of wood depending on their availability and their appearance. You have a choice of solid wood or bonded wood and veneers. Bonded wood is made from several small pieces of wood that are bonded or glued together. The wood is cut into narrow parts from wide boards and then glued together to the desired shape and width. On the other hand bonded wood can also be made by bonding together small blocks of wood, wood chips or particles.
My grandmother is getting an addition added on to her kitchen/den area and I was looking to get her some simple timeless looking flat panel cabinet doors only. The measurements are 31*31 upper doors & 31*24 1/2. The measurements are for the length and width of two pairs of 16 cabinet doors. Thank you so much for your time and information.

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.
