Hi everyone,

I was wondering what material is best for cream/white painted cabinets?

I just assumed that I would buy wood painted cabinets.

I went to a kitchen cabinet design place and their painted cabs are made of hdf. Basically the designer said why would you paint real wood cabs? That hdf was just as good better because the paint never cracks etc...

Are real wood painted cabs more likely to shows cracks in the color, in the seams that is?

Is it better to get painted cabs that are all wood or wood on the frame but not in the middle (the recessed part as in the Shaker style) ?

Now I'm more confused than ever...
