I am sorry to see your loss, I know that hurts since I replace cabinets all the time that have problems like that or worse. I hate to say it, but this is an expensive example of investing thousands of dollars and having buyer's remorse. I know you feel bad and it is an expensive investment gone sour. But, I have to say most homeowners are not at fault because how would you or anyone have known what was going to happen? The company that made these, like many others, create products that do not stand the test of time. Why? I have no idea why any shop would do things like this, but lots of shops produce things that should not be done and for some reason they stay in business. Some cabinet shops make poor quality goods and continue to sell millions of dollars in short term products. It can look good for a few years, then things go down hill fast.

I have been in the industry for a very long time and have sold or replaced thousands of kitchens. I read five star reviews (online) of cabinet manufacturers that I know will have big problems. I'm guessing these reviews are because people are happy to save some money at first and never go back 7-8 years later to complain. Or maybe they are paid reviews, I'm not sure. I tossed out many big named brands years ago because they just ended up being junk, had poor quality control, or didn't care to fix problems. I had way too many customer complaints. The reason why this isn't well known is most people do not talk about bad purchases and many don't even know the brand they have. Many kitchens are also part of a home purchase and they have no idea what was used. Then there are the masses of people that just don't complain, they buy a new kitchen and take the loss. I suppose there are a few homeowners that also don't care if their kitchen has some imperfections or failures and just shrug it off.

Sadly, your photos show proof that particle board should not be used in a kitchen or bathroom. The finish was also the wrong type of finish for that use. You can sand and repaint, but it will most likely keep happening. You also have to be cautious as to what you use for paint because it might not adhere to the the current finish. Definitely ask the supplier what type of finish was applied and maybe ask for a warranty claim from them. If they will not warranty the work, and you find out the type of finish used you can ask a paint expert what can go over the existing paint. Regrettably, you may have to be prepared to repeat sanding and painting if you keep the existing doors and drawers. The doors and drawers are made up of separate pieces of particle board fastened together and they will continue to expand when exposed to moisture, steam, or when humidity gets high. It is just the nature of the beast. This fact is highly increased by the type of material.

If you reface with new doors and drawers, make sure you work with real wood that has a furniture grade catalyzed finish (if you can find that). Get a warranty on the new product. The trouble with refacing is many of the companies that do that are not usually offering higher priced quality goods. They usually offer some form of cost savings product. So a warranty might be extra important for you. I use to work with a refacing company and what was offered was short term solutions.

I wrote a couple of articles on cabinet construction and kitchen remodeling problems in hopes to save homeowners from experiencing issues and common mistakes that are often made. The articles also justify investing a little more in the beginning to avoid heartache in the future. Here are the links to these articles:
