I hate particle board and that’s all they have at big box stores.

Particle board prefabricated ones?

Should I go particle board, prefabricated or the nicer, more expensive plywood cabinets.

Some people believe COVID particles are so small they can travel through anything.

Home Depot / Lowes they usually use particle board and laminated doors, I stop buying it 10 years agoYou should be able to find local suppliers who are not 3 times, it will be more money but should not be 3 times.

With prices headed to the moon and listings blinking in and out of existence like quantum particles, nobody seems to know exactly when this is all going to end.

@Leslie Anne Morris ^^^ Don't use IKEA, typically all junk particle board with twist-lok fasteners....We use either high-end thrift stores or the less expensive antique stores....good solid wood furniture with character that will last forever...

It's still like-new despite a lot of usage.The hardware is superior to comparably-priced competitors lines, though the boxes are particle board (the fronts vary in materials).

(Plywood cases rather than particle board will cost more and last a whole lot longer - but you will want to consider whether this is a flip, a buy & hold, or your own place). 

If there are porous areas, like particle board, then it is worth painting after the cleaning.
