Ours are wood inside. And solid wood is sturdier than particle board.

What an odd question. You buy quality because you want it to be durable and to last, right?

That is what I meant by some people do not love those cheap white country kitchens.


Lol. What in the world makes you think white kitchens are inherently cheaper than dark? Not my post or my pic but I can guarantee those white inset cabinets were not inexpensive.


Not inexpensive, but still cheap. Flat boards painted white, 36" not 42, filled in with crown molding.


I've got white cabinets and they were definitely not cheap. Maybe it's just a matter of taste. This is my second white kitchen and I am about to put one in my summer house too. We also got 36 rather than 42 on the advice of our designer. We wanted 42 but she advised that 36 with substantial molding would look much better than 42 with skimpy molding. She was right.

If you like a lot of molding. Cheaper for the designer, anyway.

You don't think so? Is a classic? I think tile is a classic--until they think of something else!

I need cabinets, tiles and colors that are timeless. Please post pictures of your idea of timeless. Sorry if I'm hijacking.


There are pictures on the internet (Garden web?) that show kitchens through the ages from 1913. Every 10 years or so there is something new. But some things age better than others. And a new style of kitchen lasts about 15 years. Then you can updated it or just let it be.

A good way to get an answer is click on popular today and all time popular:
http://www.houzz.com/photos/kitchen

Some of the same kitchens pop up. http://www.houzz.com/photos/333071/Parkwood-Road-Residence-Kitchen-traditional-kitchen-minneapolis

Lots of questions-island is a furniture finish walnut but could be changed. 4 stools and a great flow.

That power point again! Is a real person really thinking about design here or is this kitchen computer generated?
