Frameless cabinets construction question

17 years ago

I looked at several frameless cabinet lines and noticed that the thickness of materials varies a lot. So, what is considered too thin (sides, top, bottom, back, shelves)? Does the answer differ for particleboard vs. plywood? I am hoping for the new kitchen to last 20+ years... and frameless box needs to support the weight without the frame.
