Wood Cabinets
The simple fact that you have so many choices should make you a little careful before you make the final choice. Check to see if the wood is damaged, cracked or split. Find out how the cabinet is held together, screws and glue are fine but staples are not. Interlocking joints and tenon joints are the best choice. Check for signs of poor workmanship and patching. Solid wood is better than veneer. Check the back and the bottom of the cabinet. The back needs to be solid and should not bend under pressure.
Stock cabinets are those that you can buy off the rack in many stores and are prefabricated. Custom cabinets are built to the customer’s specification and are invariably more expensive and more detailed. They are usually built onsite which means that they are built at your home rather than brought over. You can choose from a variety of finishes and types of wood that include cherry cabinets, maple cabinets, oak cabinets, bamboo cabinets, birch cabinets, hickory cabinets, oak cabinets and pine cabinets.
Wood material can range from solid wood, bonded wood and wood veneers. Wood blends with almost any kind of interior design theme, and you can choose from hardwoods or softwoods. Hardwoods come from coniferous trees and are easy to work with and cut. Softwood trees on the other hand are a little difficult to cut and come from dicotyledonous trees. Remember that different kinds of wood command different prices depending on availability and appearance. But you’re sure to find something that will fit both your pocket and suit your taste.

I want to put cabinets in my laundry room. 93" wall to wall, want 30" high. Finish is not critical, and I'm looking for (solid wood) alternatives to new cabinets.
