mjcmt Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Go for it w/ the veneer of your choice. I believe it's birch plywood. It will dampen cabinets a bit more. My Forte I is walnut veneer over plywood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 It's not bad, it just might deter potential buyers in the future if you decide to sell them and they prefer the original finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it will affect resale if you do a professional job veneering, because the birch version was their utilitarian Heresy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If good job should affect in good way. Abit of a "decorator" version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uteman1011 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'd say go for it! And do post pics of the process as Randy suggests. I've had 3 sets of HBR's. One I left raw and just hit them with Watco's Rejuvenating oil, stripped and repainted the other as they had THICK grey paint on them and the cabinets were in sad shape. And am working on a mismatched set I recently rescued (not sure they will survive). Good luck and looking forward to seeing the project! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
