Handle pressboard cabinets with care

6803 cabinets are pressboard with T-molding on the edges instead of plywood, so the corners chip and crush easily. The "banana" cabinets (Blackwater 100, Dungeons & Dragons, Escape from the Lost World) bend in the middle and are awkward on a dolly; use the board across the back end for the dolly.
