Looking for some advice on supplies regarding the following project:
Currently have 9 upper kitchen cabinets that are, well to put it lightly, crappy, at least the box material is.
One section is two full cabinets on the ends with 2 half height in the middle. The other section has a 3/4 height on either side of full height and a triangular corner unit that is the same 3/4 height.
The doors are oak and fairly decent but the actual box is a real cheap pressed board. I've had to attempt repairs of things like the hinge screw holes and things have gone down hill from there.
The cabinets were also all single units paired up, so there are gaps and uneven spacing when you look close up.
We're looking to prep the house for selling in the next 1-1.5 years. Having halfway functioning cabinets isn't going to be a highlight.
My idea is to re-make the cabinet box and re-use the doors. Ideally I would build the box to be as wide as the current setup.
The problem I'm not quite sure on is materials. Pressed board is definitely not my ideal choice, but to match oak cabinet doors would I be aiming for oak veneer plywood?
