For kitchen base cabinets, should I use drawers or doors?
Whether to use drawers or doors for base cabinets depends mainly on what you need to store. For small, heavy items such as cookware, tableware, and food containers, drawers are recommended so you can access them without crouching down to search. For rice, flour, oil, large cookware, and bin spaces, door cabinets save more space and cost less. Drawers place high demands on hardware; tracks from Blum or Hettich are recommended. Kitchen cabinets are priced by linear metre. The basic configuration of E0 particle board cabinet body + PET door panel costs 900–1,000 yuan per linear metre in Beijing and 765–850 yuan per linear metre in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou. The mainstream configuration of ENF particle board cabinet body + PET door panel costs 1,020–1,250 yuan per linear metre in Beijing and 867–1,062.5 yuan per linear metre in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou. These are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quotation; actual pricing must be calculated based on dimensions, hardware, and quantity.
