25 years ago we bought stained all wood maple doors for our kitchen and they held up well but even in a mild climate there was some minor cracking and warping. Our cabinet coach Nathan had us consider hybrid and MDF painted doors and we ultimately chose MDF. The cabinet finish looks great and I think it was a good choice.
I have white solid wood doors. They look beautifull, no cracking. Even if i do get hairline cracks in the future, I don't mind that my cabinets look real. Why do people demand perfect, just seems plastic to me?
The information was so helpful. I live in the Caribbean and the material for my cabinets need to withstand our climate. However, I am afraid a full MDF. I find that it should not be placed around water at all. But you've been some very good suggestions. Would you say the hybrid is the better choice for the Caribbean? Also, is the box made out of only plywood or is it MDF material?
