We have 20 year old white cabinets. About 5 years ago they started turning a slight yellow where the sun hits them.

Our thermofoil cabinets started to come loose from the backing...no amount of glue cement would keep them intact...where we tried, they began to warp. Now we have solid wood finally. The cabinets were only 3 years old and over the microwave and the cutlery drawers were the first to go. We could have put solid wood door replacements on but moved first.

We have a 3 year old house with white Cabinets. I believe they are painted. They are very nice, we have had Zero problems with them - they are in a Jasmine Designer.

I have always liked white cabinets but never had them.

We had a wetbar in our Tampa house in our dining room. I put white cabinets (didn’t want to clash with the furniture).
They yellowed after a few years.

I wish they still made Jubilee -it did a great job on white
Furniture/cabinets.

John your new kitchen is beautiful!

Our cabinets have been painted white for 10 years. We use our kitchen every day and the cabinets have not yellowed or chipped. PM us if you would like to see what the cabinets look like. They were pinkish gray oak. Len & Mary The retired half of Investment Painting Contractors.

Never heard of Jubilee. Looked it up and it is back. Available at True Value, Ace Hardware, Amazon, Walmart

Jubilee kitchen wax - aka Johnson's wax - is back! - Retro Renovation

Highly rated, might have to get some...
Thanks!

The Villages must have made a mistake in our house. We got wood cabinets in the Village of Caroline.

Wow I can’t believe they brought it back. People have been asking them to but didn’t think they would.

I don’t know if anyone remembers girl’s bedroom furniture that was white with gold trim. I had it growing up and Jubilee kept it looking great for years.

Maybe with so many people loving white cabinets in their kitchens they decided to bring it back.

Thanks for the info!
