Refinishing cabinets- most durable method?!

[Heather Moore]

Hey BP- Quick question, we want to spruce up the cabinets in our rental (they’re the traditional light oak cabinets). The cabinets are in good condition but I’d like to change the color to give the kitchen a facelift & get a little bit more income from the unit (along with replacing floors & painting) What is the best way to refinish the cabinets while ensuring they’ll still be durable for renters? Thanks in advance!
