Thanks.

1) Make a list of cabinet suppliers from the yellow pages.
2) Narrow the list to a few of the most conveniently located.
3) Stop off at a lumber yard and learn what particle board, MDF and
plywood look like.
4) Look at the cabinets at the supplier stores, noting which ones are
a) all particle board b) some particle board and MDF c) some MDF and
plywood d) mostly plywood and real lumber
5) Scratch all the a, b, and some c products off the list.
6) Get prices on d type products. Have SWMBO make your mind which ones
are nicest.
7) Follow accepted procedures for choosing a competent contractor.
8) Inform contractor of your preferences.
9) Repeat 6, 7, 8, as needed and sign contract approved by your
attorney.
10) Disregard most advice in this NG as by now you're more
knowledgeable than the pundits.
YMMV
