If you’re looking for an elegant kitchen cabinet, wood is the only choice. It gives you that understated look that’s stylish and easy to maintain. Wood gives your cabinets a look that is warm and classy but takes a little effort on your part to keep it looking good. You have a choice of several types of wood and finishes. Choose from framed and frameless cabinets, stock and custom cabinets, and traditional and contemporary when it comes to style.
Stock cabinets are those that you can buy off the rack in many stores and are prefabricated. Custom cabinets are built to the customer’s specification and are invariably more expensive and more detailed. They are usually built onsite which means that they are built at your home rather than brought over. You can choose from a variety of finishes and types of wood that include cherry cabinets, maple cabinets, oak cabinets, bamboo cabinets, birch cabinets, hickory cabinets, oak cabinets and pine cabinets.
Choosing a wooden cabinet can sometimes get complicated simply because of the wide variety of choices that are available. Hardwoods, softwoods, country and traditional style, framed and frameless cabinets, the choices seem endless. Remember that prices vary depending on the type of wood you choose. Exotic woods like mahogany, ebony and walnut command higher prices. Mahogany is the perfect alternative to old oak wood, and comes from the tropical rainforests. It is reddish brown in color, and has regular grains. Walnut comes in shades that range from dark brown to purplish black, and ebony is very dark or black in color.
Have a ceiling to floor wall unit cabinet that is 20 feet in length. Needs to be sanded down and refinished.

I want to put cabinets in my laundry room. 93" wall to wall, want 30" high. Finish is not critical, and I'm looking for (solid wood) alternatives to new cabinets.
