Are these cabinets toast?

[Robert Gunther]

I have not seen these cabinets in person.  I don't even know if they are 'real wood' or some type of press board or what.  To me they don't look like real solid wood.

I wanted to have them refinished.  Strip the current paint, fill, sand, paint, new hardware and I'm good to go.

Not so fast it seems.  I showed the photos to three different cabinet re-finishers.

One said they are beyond help.

One quoted me $900 to redo the kitchen ones and two bathroom's worth.

The third quote I got is for $2,600 (kitchen only, I almost hit the floor).

Went to Home Depot to see about refacing service.  They quoted (only for the kitchen, no bathrooms) $3,700 for new doors and new counter tops.

Just suffering from a bit of sticker shock here, trying to determine my next move.  I have tenants wanting to move in, but I want to fix these and a few other items before they move in.
