American Woodmark "Somerset" come apart at the seams

American Woodmark cabinets come apart at the seams.
I bought my cabinets in 1998, 18 of them, from Home Depot. They look nice, were priced right at the time. Home Depot had to replace doors, sink base, because the wood had a lot of dark blemishes/spots, darker wood grain on them. I felt that I bought the cabinets on how they looked in the store display and in the book, but mine didn't look like that when I received them. That was fine since they sent new parts. We did the work ourselves with no problems. The thing is that after 10 years, I had a single cabinet almost fall off the wall because the "glued" seams just popped loose. Took it down and glued it completely to repair it since there was no remaiming warranty on them, and it's been fine. But now (14 years later),I have to take down 3 wall cabinets that are put together as an upright unit ( to hide a chimney) because the whole front has pulled away from the shelves, and the back seams had come loose as well. Other ones will need repair also. It's a big inconvenience. BUT they still look nice to look at them. If there's ever another time that I need cabinets, I'll look at a different manufacturer.
