Saw a kitchen in a new condo building downtown and the drawer fronts were all MDF with a printed wood grain.
Everyone says solid wood is the only way to go for quality, but these looked sharp and the building manager said they hold up fine. Has anyone here actually installed something like that for a client who wanted a modern look on a tight budget?

My last apartment had those. Looked great for about a year, then the edges started to swell up from steam. Landlord never fixed it.

Wondering if the real problem is putting that stuff in a rental at all. It's basically a homeowner grade material in a place where nobody has a long term stake. Tenants can't reseal it properly, landlords won't pay for the upkeep. Saw the same thing with cheap laminate floors, they buckle and then it's just a blame game forever.
