When designing kitchen cabinets, homeowners have a variety of materials from which to choose. While particleboard, laminate, and thermofoil are all popular options, they don’t match up to wood. Whether you’re building a new kitchen or remodeling an old one, here are some of the biggest reasons to opt for wood cabinets. 

Why Wood Is the Ideal Material for Kitchen Cabinets 

1. Durable 

Your kitchen cabinets need to withstand years of heavy use since the shelves are stocked with heavy plates, glasses, and small appliances. You also likely open and close the doors several times a day.

Wood is one of the most durable materials for cabinetry because it’s resistant to nicks, chips, and scratches. If it does get damaged, it can often be salvaged by applying wood filler and refinishing the surface. 

2. Versatile 

Wood cabinets are totally customizable. In addition to arranging them in any kind of configuration, you can select from a vast array of styles, accents, colors, and finishes. There’s a wood cabinet for virtually every design scheme, from minimalist chic to rustic farmhouse. 

3. Timeless 

Shag rugs, pink tiles, stained glass chandeliers—there are countless home accents that have quickly gone in and out style. Wood cabinets, on the other hand, are here to stay. Certain finishes may be trendier than others, but if your particular design ever feels dated, updating it will be as easy as sanding and staining.
