Am I the only one who's getting more jobs for painted plywood cabinets?
Lately, I've had three clients in a row ask for painted plywood instead of solid wood for their kitchen cabinets (it's cheaper, I guess). They all say they want a modern look without the high cost. One couple even showed me pictures from a home design app, which is new for me. It makes me wonder if this is a bigger shift in what people want these days.

Honestly, three clients in a row doesn't seem like a huge shift to me.

I mean, seeing those app pictures makes sense because last month a client showed me a TikTok video asking for laminate countertops. They wanted the look of marble without the cost, which is kinda the same idea as painted plywood. So maybe @aaron150 is right that it's not a huge shift, but it does feel like people are more focused on looks over materials now.
