faceframe vs. frameless cabinets

Faceframe cabinets have a visible wooden frame around the front, which provides strength and a classic look, making them easier to customize and repair. Frameless cabinets, also called European-style, lack this frame, offering wider storage space and a sleeker, modern appearance. They use thick sides for support instead of a frame, resulting in more accessible interior space. The choice depends on style preference, budget, and desired functionality; faceframe cabinets tend to be more traditional and sturdy, while frameless offers a contemporary look with maximized storage.
