Pictures? Brand? Type of white finish?

Learn to use the touch up kit. No cabinets or counters are impervious to impacts. You just don’t see it so clearly with stained cabinets.

My concern was whether they were painted or possibly thermofoil or the less expensive pvc/plasticy finish.

I believe we are going to see a lot of issues with white cabinetry in the near future. Weather American or Import. White like black hyper focuses imperfections, dirt, grime, and normal wear an tear we didn't notice as much as compared to the stained cabinetry.

Definitely invest in a touch up kit. If you can't get it from the cabinet vendor they do sell them at the box stores at the paint department.

My contractor basically told me the same thing about my recently installed white shaker cabinets. I did get a can of touch up paint.
