Default Frameless cabinets vs. face frames -- Is one truly better than the other?

I like the fact that there is a much wider opening in a double
cabinet with frameless cabinets


Not necessarily. You can put a faux stile attached to one of the doors. This
requires that you close the door the door with the faux stile first. It's a
bit of a nuissance but it does give you the double-opening. IMO it's worth
it in cabinets where you regularly store wide items.

I did this on the lowers in my kitchen. If I could do it again, I think I
would just do it in some key places. For instance, under the sink, the
inconventience of "close the faux stile door first" is easily offset by the
increased access to plumbing.
