Hi Suvajimandal, Did you make the cabinets yet? How did it turn out? What did you use to get the high gloss?

I love dark shades but from my experience oil stains on a dark shaded cabinets in kitchen specifically are more prominent.

add some pictures of your space for better suggestions

1. solid wood Better used in bed cottage, door , window frames and dining table. 2. MDF light weight non water usage places with good lamination applicable. 3. laminated plywood quick working cupboard pasting time reduce but cost is very high. Main advantage is machine pasting good finish. 4. Plywood + lamination /mica Major category Water proof plywood (Bwp /BWR) grade 710 commercial Moisture resistance (MR) grade 303 For kitchen where ever water usage use water proof plywood with 1mm laminate good pasting used maximum base unit with fitting zone. Non usage water places wall unit and loft unit use MR grade ply wood no need BWR and Bwp plywood. Also reduce cost. Wardrobe Use Mr grade plywood . main consider door plywood no bend and double side laminate for stability. For advice and suggestion click and follow below link https://www.houzz.in/pro/oceanarc
