Nice cabinets and well priced. We have them in 6 rooms and would happily use them again.

The cautions I have are:

- the natural cherry looks good on the frames and sides but Starmark sadly uses lumber that should be culled on the drawer fronts. The nearly white sapwood portions should never be used on furniture or cabinets where it will be visible. This is not uncommon in cheap cabinets but looks shoddy in otherwise nice cabinets.

- The drawer faces use ‘dog ear’ mounting tabs that allow movement that can cover for other manufacturing tolerances. This is less than ideal since most drawer pulls are mounted through the panel and then lock the panel in place. If you take the face off and mount the pull to it, you do get the benefit of having no fasters in the drawer box, but heavily loaded kitchen drawers like pots and pans or the trash can pull out will eventually have lots of ‘slop’ from the tabs bending constantly. It is a freeze or fry situation.

All in all they are nice cabinets for the money but you need to be a bit cautious in wood selection and pull mounting.
