Would I be able to use this kit without having plycore, particle board or solid wood cabinets (stricly hardware)? Would it still be safe? Thank you

The kit is only the hardware, you have to have wood to put it on for a frame box.

This has a combination of plywood and solid wood. I actually had to cut into it to modify for my purpose. No MDF, No particle board.

No. You have to assemble them. It isn't difficult, just takes a screwdriver or allen wrench. The assembly time would be worth the cheaper price. It's the inferior construction of particle board that makes me recommend against them.

Certainly --- just don't screw in the CPU Platform --- it in no way effects the rest of the assembly and you will just have a platform, supporting bracket and caster left over. You might even find some other creative use for these extra parts.

I believe so. I'm in the process of doing our cabinets now and have not had a problem with the sides of the cabinets. I'm pretty sure they are particle board with some sort of fake coating on top.

yea you can work without the shelf if you want to if the holes for the shelf pins don't bother you then you're good, you can always makeshift something to cover them up. I was gonna do the same but I needed space management eh, the keyboard part you can leave out as well if you don't need it, and on the sturdy side this desk looks like is gonna be solid for years to come, again make sure you got the space cause this thing is big. The back of the board edges are not laminated but you can always laminate them, but overall its a great looking desk.

I did not but it appears that it would be possible. We do like the cabinet and have not had any issues with it.

I believe it's particle. My older teens put our together. It is not sturdy like a medal cabinet & wobbles a bit when opening and closing doors. I don't know if gluing the pieces together would have made a difference. Ours is for light use, so I'm pleased with it. It is attractive.

I believe you can. I love mine but do not have laminate floors, linoleum and wood.

Jessica. I ended up throwing away the cabinet. First very difficult to built, then once put together it was very flimsy. I decided to buy a metal one which I got at Pier 1 Import and it did the job. Save your money and time don't get it. Hope this helps. Aida

On concrete you should not need the floor frame kit, or plywood. just a drill and a couple of concrete anchors. I bought the anchor kit and it was overkill, 4 anchors should be enough.

I was able to assemble the cabinet by myself with no issues. As long as you take your time, make sure everything is square prior to torqueing down the bolts, it went together rather easily. I added some foam strip backing behind the dart board where it mounts to its two mounting brackets. It originally had some play, but with the foam it's solid and it helps dampen some of the noise.

Wooden speakers would sound like crap... The cabinets are high grade MDF, finished with a high grade applied "wood grain" in black. I build cabinets and am very pleased!

For the cabinet carcase (the box), use screws plus glue for strength, not nails. Especially if the cabinet is for a heavy load. For attaching a face frame (with or without doors) to a plywood cabinet the nailer is just what you want: the small holes are easily filled to be just about invisible.

Laminate wood? I would say so. I'm no expert by the majority of our cabinets are particle cheap stuff. The only thing I would suggest is that to at least sand your area down just a tad as I did the same to lift the gloss that is applied to top layer. I used two coats for the color I wanted then applied the clear coat to protect.

Hi Carol, Our cabinets are a combination construction, as you will not find a 100% solid wood cabinet on the market unless you get it custom made. Many competing models are advertised as solid wood when in fact only the structural frame of the cabinet is made of solid wood, and the doors, drawers, and other panels are made of fiberboard. Our frame, doors and drawers are 100% solid birch wood! We leave the drawer interiors unpainted so that you can see exactly what they're made of. Thank you! Kitchen Bath Collection

Yes, I just double checked mine to make sure. There is no particle board anywhere, even inside the drawers or on the back. It is solid pine. I have had two for almost a year and am very happy with them.
