So I got a part time job at a cabinet shop, very high-end actually.. I am just a helper and am only called for install work.
i noticed the construction method for the base cabinets (frameless) is simple butt joints, with 18 gauge staples (1-1/2”) and 1-5/8” Screws.
Stretchers on the top.
the back has a 1/4” panel that has sliding dado.
no glue.
box construction with plastic cabinet legs that the toe-kick snaps on.
he said he has never had an issue.
does this seem right?
