What you want to be looking at is what type of coating is placed on the cabinetry. It needs to at minimum be a 2-part, post-catalyzed conversion varnish. Some of the newer products from Milesi, ICA-Ilva, Sayerlack, Renner, and others are actually waterbornes that eliminate the VOCs in the home from oil-based conversion varnishes. A one-part lacquer finish is what is failing within a few years' time. Find a company with the 2-part, post-catalyzed conversion varnish finish and a lifetime warranty, and you'll be fine. I recommend starting your research with a few great companies that do outstanding finishes, Jay Rambo, Prelude by Plato Woodworking, Ascend by William Ohs, and Harmoni by Bentwood Kitchens.
