Espresso Shaker Kitchen Cabinets Question

Hi everyone!

I’m considering installing espresso shaker kitchen cabinets in my new kitchen and have a couple of questions. First, how do they hold up against wear and tear, especially in a busy household? I’ve heard mixed reviews about the finish. I’m also looking to buy online espresso shaker cabinets—any recommendations on reliable retailers?

Additionally, what are the best color schemes or countertop options that complement the deep espresso tones? I want to create a warm and inviting space without making it feel too dark. Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your insights!
