Thank you for the link, but I just keep going around in circles. I can't find the information.

Belmont Cabinets

Breathe Easy cabs - altho their website is down, google shows a few dealers who carry their line.

Executive Cabinets - I believe they're in one of the big box stores

Try custom cabinets. They can be not as pricey and you get what you want.

Solid wood is the way to go if you are sensitive to chemicals. Will have to have a local cabinetmaker make them.

I've heard DeWills is supposed to be eco-friendly.

You probably know this, but formaldehyde is also found in glues and other solvents. Apparently some types of MDF have less VOCs than others. FWIW, my contractor said his cabinetmaker once made custom cabinets, stained wood, with sealant that was zero VOCs. The cabinets didn't wear well at all. So maybe low VOC is the way to go, vs. no VOC?

The Environmental Working Group has info about cabinets (and if you click around, there have other guides for "healthy homes."

I'm concerned about this too, so if you care to share you decision, I'd love to here it.

Many of the so called "Green" "Eco-friendly" claims I see are a bunch of hype. Under a certain percentage you are allowed to call something "Formaldehyde free" even if it's not. As someone working with these products everyday the first "Eco" I am concerned with is my own. I have to be around it and breath it especially when it's cut or sprayed so I only use the least offensive products I can. No one's going to build a whole kitchen out of soil wood, boxes and all, so that's not an option. For board I use the highest grade water-resistant MDF that has an almost zero rating. Making sure both faces and all edges are sealed or banded is about the best you can do. As for finishes that nasty "Conversion Varnish" the everyone on here holds up as the best finish and claims its "baked on" which means nothing more than its place under hot lights to accelerate drying for production purposes is something that can take years of your life just being around. There are earth friendly nontoxic paints out there some may not hold up so well in a kitchen environment but I only use an Italian 2K ploy water base finish that is stronger than CV and has really low VOC's.
