| Hi, A cabinet maker we are considering using to build our kitchen cabinets said he uses veneer core plywood (3/4") to make the boxes. Is this a good thing? I'm wondering if high end cabinet manufacturers use this type of plywood as well... Thanks. |

| Typically it might be referred to as 'furniture grade' plywood. 3/4" is likely overkill for plywood carcasses. Particle board is usually 3/4, and I think plywood 5/8 (I'm pretty sure my custom plywood cabinets are 5/8 furniture grade plywood). Real birch veneer - nothing beats it for looks and durability. |

| I am a cabinet maker and I believe very much in 3/4 plywood for the boxes. It is our standard that we won't deviate from..that is how much we think of it. Travis Alfrey |

| The cabinet maker was very specific about the type of plywood he uses so I just wanted to find out more about it. Thank you for your responses, I really appreciate it. I posted my proposed layout on another thread ( which I linked below). If anyone is willing to take a stab at helping me with layout I would be grateful. I took into consideration what some of the posters suggested and posted an updated layout on the same post with more measurements and information. Thanks and have a wonderful day. |
