So the question is, how long a poor quality cabinet lasts? If they usually
lasts more than 20 years, I would probably get the cheap ones.


assuming your basement is not terribly humid there is no reason why a factory
box cabinet(available at lowes/homedepot/etc) won't last longer than 20
years....the particle board is strong but not good for very humid areas...if
your basement is humid and you don't control the humidity then I would say go
for the solid maple...
