Types of wood are oftentimes classified as being either hard or soft which is dependent on the tree along with its natural properties. However, this terminology can also be misleading as it doesn’t actually indicate how hard the wood is. Wooden kitchen cabinets don’t necessarily have to be as resilient to dings, scratches, and more as hardwood floors should be. On the other hand, it’s important to work with a cabinet maker that doesn’t skimp on the quality of wood in order to increase their profit.
