I have used MDF several times for customers at their request.
They painted them and were happy, repeadedly. One of my
customers re did his kitchen and a few years later moved and did
the MDF again. 8 years later he is is still happy and the doors
still look great.

With that in mind I do strongly suggest the use of Euro style
hinges. These style hinges will support the weight of the doors
with out screws, however the screws are necessary to keep the
doors from sliding off of the hinge.


I see little difference in the MDF cabinets being discussed and
most of the melamine-coated box cabinets sold in stores. The only
difference in most is that the fiber/sawdust material is covered
with a plastic skin. In my shop, I made the cabinet doors out of
birch faced particle board and they held up perfectly well.

Yes, the European style hinges are the way to go.
