Izeider ~ I'll bet your cabinet is wonderful! What a great surprise! We like quality, too, and did price out what a custom sewing cabinet would cost, but it was prohibitive from the dealer we talked to.
A friend of mine has the same cabinet that I got which she has had for years and years. Her DH did comment yesterday on what good quality he feels it is. Of course, most of us would prefer all wood, although I still want to add some "slicker" topping to mine. I'm thinking about the peel and stick marble-look "shelf" paper. A friend's DD put it on her kitchen counter. I was so surprised at how great it looks, but not really sure how it will hold up. In any event, it doesn't cost much and would peel right off if I didn't like it. Probably worth a try.
