I recently had a base cabinet and wall cabinet installed in a bathroom. My initial thoughts about the quality of the construction was that they were really no better then the cabinets you can purchase at Home Depot or Lowes. Solid wood front panels with lesser quality wood and veneer for the rest. The drawers are nice, but one of the drawer faces was badly aligned and one of the drawer locking mechanisms was defective. None of the drawer faces actually sit flush on the cabinet front when closed. The veneer finish is the worst I have ever seen. Prior to painting the walls I applied masking tape to the sides with veneer. When I removed the tape, numerous areas of the veneer pulled away from the panels. The veneer is so thin I can't even feel a ridge where the unfinshed "wood" was exposed. The contractor that insatlled them ensured me that they never saw this type of problem before. Not sure I beleive that one. The solution to the problem was to install soild wood panels on the exposed veneer sides. I was charged over $500 for the 24 inch wall cabinet so God knows what I paid for the base cabinet. Either way these cabinets are not worth the money.
