Yes, I understand. I’m specifically trying to avoid MDF, particleboard, laminates, and other highly engineered materials. I’m open to high-quality plywood for the cabinet boxes if that’s the better structural choice, but I’d like solid wood for the doors, drawer fronts, and face frames. I’m trying to find the most natural, high-quality option possible.

Where in FL?

The shop that made my custom 10 ft tall wood front door (hurricane rated) also makes custom cabinets, and would be happy to build whatever you want ... it will be expensive!

Solid wood faces in the south Florida humidity will likely not be stable and will expand and crack. I would consider Ultracraft https://www.ultracraft.com/

And I would consider Thermofoil doors in a wood grain pattern. Wipe them off with a damp cloth, protection against UV. Both important in South Florida.

KraftMaid's VANTAGE series (only available at dealers, not box stores) offer an all wood cabinet....no particleboard or vinyl. Plywood box and wood veneer interiors. No vinyl clad interiors.

@chispa can you please share their info?

What is your general location? They aren't going to do business with someone several hours away!

If I may ask… why do you want wood. Note: I am not looking to criticize you, but my recommendation may change if you want eco friendly vs. durability.

Contrary to popular belief, high humidity doesn’t cause wood movement. Wood is hygroscopic and therefore stable at any steady humidity, whether high or low. It is shifts in humidity that cause problems, so typically areas with cold dry winters and hot sticky summers are the worst, followed closely by high altitude areas.

Having said that, many Florida homeowners adopt an inside/outside lifestyle, allowing more outdoor air in, which isnt bad if consistent but if it is seasonal it mimics areas with seasonal humidity swings.

@bry911 Im looking for ecofriendly materials

@Mayra A. Vasquez, the shop I used is on the west coast, so too far. Look up local custom cabinet shops in your area and make appointments to check out their showroom/shop.

We have solid maple cabinets by Omega. Search online for a distributor in your area.
