Sounds like your getting all fixed up Joe. I built my cabinets out of MDF and the drawers out of plywood with MDF fronts on them. I put poly on the tops, helps with the chipping but I wish I had used baltic birch or pine on the fronts. I trimmed them out in 1x3 of pine and set them 1/8 inch proud so I can drop in a 1/8 hardboard top that I can replace easy. My new bench will be the same way.
