Cabinet Box
The structural shell of a cabinet — consisting of two sides, a top, a bottom (or floor), and a back panel — to which doors, drawers, and hardware are attached. Cabinet box quality is determined by the material (plywood, particleboard, or MDF), the joinery method (dowels, staples, cam locks, or dadoes), and the thickness of the panels. A well-built box is the foundation of a durable cabinet, even though it is hidden behind doors and drawers.
