I look for well-built carcases and face frames. The bottoms, sides, and backs of the cabinets should be in good condition and anchored to one another solidly. Adjustable shelves should work. I also check that face frames are firmly attached to the cabinet carcases, or can be reattached easily, and that the face-frame joinery is flush and secure.

Although full-overlay doors cover the cases when closed, opening doors reveals the edges of the case, so edging is required.
