3 Common Cabinetry Myths – And the Facts Behind Them

3 Common Cabinetry Myths – And the Facts Behind Them

When it comes to building your dream home, there’s a lot of advice floating around. But not everything you hear about cabinets is true.

 

In fact, some myths can hold you back from creating a home that’s truly practical, stylish, and safe for your family.

At ohsome, we’re here to set the record straight.


 

Myth #1: All Cabinet Boards Are the Same

 

The Truth: Material quality makes all the difference.

 

Many homeowners believe that all boards — whether MFC, chipboard, or plywood — perform the same. The reality? Choosing the wrong material can affect durability, water resistance, and even health safety.

 

At ohsome, we use 18mm ENF-grade boards, which are thicker, sturdier, and the safest formaldehyde emission level in the world. Compared to common 16mm boards in the market, ours last longer, resist warping, and give you peace of mind about indoor air quality.

 

Pro tip: Ask about the board type (MFC, OSB, plywood), thickness, and all-edge banding before you commit to any cabinetry project.

 


 

Myth #2: Custom Cabinets Are Too Expensive

 

The Truth: Customization is value for money.

 

It’s easy to assume that tailor-made means overpriced. But when you look at the long-term value, customized cabinetry saves more.

 

Why? Because you’re investing in durability, storage efficiency, and design that fits your lifestyle. Instead of replacing low-quality cabinets in 3–5 years, Ohsome cabinets are built to last with premium hardware, branded fittings, and a 3-year comprehensive warranty.

 

Plus, our designs are crafted to maximize every inch of your space — whether it’s a built-in kitchen cabinet in Puchong, a TV cabinet in Selangor, or a customized wardrobe in Klang Valley.

 


 

Myth #3: Cabinets Are Just About Looks

 

The Truth: The inside matters as much as the outside.

 

Some homeowners only focus on the external finish — the color, style, or handles. But what you don’t see is just as important. The carcass, hinges, runners, and edge-banding determine how your cabinets perform day after day.

 

That’s why ohsome goes beyond surface beauty:

Blum hardware for smooth, long-lasting function

Soft-close hinges & runners for a quiet home

Water-resistant panels & PUR edge banding for better protection

Custom heights & storage solutions tailored to your lifestyle

 

Because a truly dream home isn’t just about looking good — it’s about living better.
