What is the difference between Faceframe cabinets and Frameless (European) cabinets?
Both types of cabinets are good. Faceframe cabinets are considered more of a traditional type of construction, and date back to the colonial period. The frame is made-up of stiles (vertical pieces) and rails (horizontal pieces), and doors that are hinged to the frame. The hinge is usually exposed, with the door over-laying the frame or inset into the frame opening. Frameless or European cabinets have no exposed frames. The doors and drawers cover the cabinet completely and the hinge is usually concealed. Your choice of either style is a matter of preference and what appeals to you most.
