    Default Cabinet doors - suggestions needed

    I need to make the top and the door of a melamine laundry cabinet, and am looking for suggestions on the most economical way to do this.

    The finish I am looking for is glossy white, with a hardwearing top surface.

    I have priced laminated MDF ( $200 /sheet 2.4m x 1.2m). I have priced laminate - ( $90 per sheet 1.8m x 0.75m).

    A cabinet maker wanted around $350 for both top and door, edged, as did a ready-cut mob.

    The dimensions of the door are 640 x 600mm and the top is 850 x 600mm

    I would welcome all suggestions and ideas

    regards,
    Jill

    For the benchtop checkout the seconds/rejects rack of the cabinetmakers workshops. We did and picked up a bargin.
