Building a new house. Time had come to build kitchen and bathroom
cabinets. Would love to get this group's opinion on face frame vs.
frameless. Thanks.

Face frame
1. stronger
2. more work to build
3. more appearance options

Frameless
1. "modern" appearance (like a featureless wall)


The original kitchen cabinets in my house (of which only one section
remains, now being used in the laundry room - sadly) were built like
face frame cabinets but did not have a vertical divider between the
doors, rather, you had to close the left hand door before the right of
each pair (not sure if I got that right or backwards, you get the
point.) The ones currently in the kitchen do have vertical dividers. I
much prefer the old cabinets. FWIW, YMMV.
