My project should be simple. I have Silestone quartz counter tops so my
only option is to reface the cabinets. I have Opal Oak and want to go to
a darker Cinnamon Oak cabinet. I won't be adding a new sink, extra
cabinets, etc.


Any reason you can't degrease, sand, and stain? You can't go lighter
with stain, but you can always go darker. (No idea what Opal and
Cinnamon oak colors are- I wish there was a recognized standard for
defining colors with a number.) Or are the existing cabinets faux
woodgrain on the large faces or something?

Not a fan of cabinet refacing. When you open a cabinet, it always
reminds me of a used car with a cheap paint job, where they didn't
repaint the door edges.

Yes, I could degrease, sand and stain, but what a job. Opal Oak is a
pinkish color, and a cinnamon oak is a medium oak color.

They are oak cabinets. I know what you mean about the colors being
defined by a number.

Thanks for your input.
