ROHNERT PARK — Host, Sarah Rutan: When comparing wood cabinets, it can be hard to spot subtle differences in quality. Today we’re in Rohnert Park with Diamond Certified Expert Contributor Stan Wahl of Cabinets 101 to learn more.
Diamond Certified Expert Contributor, Stan Wahl: Okay, I’d like to take a few minutes to talk about the difference in quality of a cabinet. With these two white, craftsman style cabinets, they look exactly the same. They present exactly the same. There is a difference of about twenty percent over the one manufacturer and the second. Both of them have soft-closed hinges, which allows the door to close smoothly, quietly. But once you start looking at the cabinet you’ll see the difference between the quality.
This one – the less expensive cabinet – the door is constructed of solid wood. It has a plywood center, which when you knock on it has more of a hollow sound to it. The cabinet itself has one, it comes with one shelf. The shelves are half-inch plywood. The bodies of both cabinets are plywood, but the interior of this is a vinyl coating, a melamine coating, that looks like wood.
The other cabinet has the same look to it. The door itself has got a solid wood panel, which when you tap on it sounds more heavy. It comes with two shelves and the interior of the cabinet is painted white. So, completely white cabinet, better sounding door, versus one shelf, vinyl interior, and a plywood panel.

Video: Understanding “Check Engine” Lights


if you're unsure what a check engine
light on your car's dashboard means
you'll want to take some time to get
acquainted with this critical feature
today we're in San andelo with diamond
certified expert contributor Yan Daron
of all Autos to learn more the most
misconstrued icon on the instrument
panel is what is commonly known as the
check engine light
overall this is an indicator of a
computer malfunction and it can be
either a mission related in which case
there will be no symptoms or it could be
ignition or fuel related in which case
there are symptoms where you will feel a
drivability problem with a vehicle um
loss of power um intermittent stalling
um uh rough idle hard starting that sort
of thing but if the light comes on and
stays on steady and there are no
symptoms there is no cause for alarm uh
your owner's manual will tell you to
take it to your nearest dealership but
that is not absolutely necessary because
most reputable autoshops would have some
sort of device like this called a scan
tool um there are different um high-end
ones available uh this one happens to be
a sort of a higher end one um and it'll
tell you
what the code
malfunction uh was stored in this case
we have a uh mass airflow sensor problem
with the vehicle which would definitely
cause symptoms so
um in in the case of no symptoms then
the vehicle can still be driven safely
until you can bring the vehicle to a
local auto
