Default bloody Ikea

Door and Drawer Front companies out there.

You can also drill-out the entire hinge attachment area to glue-in real wood
for re-drilling. Or, you can spin or flip, patch and re-drill them to double
their life. Once re-situated you can even glue the hinge cups and wings in. A
step further would be to drill the sides of the cups and install nails with a
nail-set.
