Fond memories of sneaking to canteen during class....best class to fool around and not study...haha.. haha... i checked out plywood before on wiki. Plywood does not expand and contract as much as solid wood, its strong and much cheaper. There are outdoor plywood with water resistant glue which can withstand rain and shine. These would make the cabinets more expensive. Certain parts of the cabinets are not plywood, its just chipwood covered with 2 thin layers of wood. But i guess it all boils down to cost la, good materials don't come cheap. Plus most importantly is how u maintain it. Honestly, if your floor tiles, wall tiles...etc all these don't last a lifetime, no need to get furniture that lasts a lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
