Cabinets vs Backboards Cabinets vs Backboards Cabinets Cabinets are just a little larger than a dartboard with doors on the front so that when the board is not in use, you can close the doors and not see the board. The insides of the doors have chalk scoreboards attached to them.
Most cabinets have some sort of decorative design on the outside of the doors.
The chalk scoreboards that come with them wear out faster than the larger ones you can buy separately. Reading the scores can also be difficult since you do have to write smaller. Due to the cabinets small size, many darts will hit the doors and the scoreboards if the thrower is not that experienced, tearing up the scoreboards even more. They are generally made of a pressed wood and covered in fabric, many have a wooden frame. You just finished moving into a brand new house and are throwing a party.
