First, there's the material. Three are basic: wood, steel and plastic. Solid wood is the most expensive and is the mate­ rial of which most custom cabinets are made. Few man­ ufacturers today produce steel cabinets. Many produce cabinets with laminate sur­ faces. More combine solids with wood veneers.

Too. you should be con­ cerned with construction--with drawers that slide easily. shelves that are adjustable, doors that hang properly, grains and colors that match, interior and exterior surfaces that are smooth to the touch. Just as surely you'll be con­ cerned with style, for it is the style of your cabinets that es­ tablishes the style of your kitchen. Rustic, or country, is the most popular now, followed by the European look--simple, uncluttered--and Early Ameri­ can, a perennial favorite.

You'll find similar looks at dif­ ferent levels, so shop around. Finally, there's the question of storage", how much and what types do you need to store food, pots and pans, dishes, silver­ ware, glassware, portable appliancs and linens?
