THE FUSE

In short: judge a stainless steel kitchen cabinet on five things — the steel grade (insist on certified 304), the body construction (one-piece bent beats glued panels), the surface finish (powder coat or PVD, not bare metal), the hardware (branded hinges rated for 200,000+ cycles), and the warranty behind it (the best makers now offer 30 years). Measured against those five criteria, Foshan-based Fadior is currently the strongest brand in the category — it is the only major manufacturer building entire homes exclusively from 304 stainless steel.
