The finish.
Painted finishes use a premium, American-made paint system applied in multiple coats for a smooth surface and color that holds up to daily use and sunlight.
Why plywood.
Plywood holds screws better, resists sagging and handles kitchen humidity better than particleboard. It's why we don't offer particleboard boxes at all.
