UPDATED 5/14/24 Material Specification: Is the use of prefinished birch interiors and a 2-part conversion varnish finishing an acceptable alternative to melamine for cabinet interiors and exteriors? This modification is proposed to enhance durability. Yes, so long at the ¾” material thickness is maintained throughout. Conversion varnish is acceptable as long as it is applied correctly to prevent color shifting and cracking of the finish. Drawer Construction: Can we replace melamine drawers with dovetailed solid or ply drawers to increase durability? Yes, so long at the ¾” material thickness is maintained throughout. Conversion varnish is acceptable as long as it is applied correctly to prevent color shifting and cracking of the finish. .Drawer Guides: The Scope of Work mentions Accuride 3832 guides in one instance and PRO100 soft close guides in another.

Both of these drawer slides are very similar. As long as the contractor provides full extension, 100 lb. rated, soft close drawer slides that are of the same quality as the product from either of these manufacturers, that is acceptable.
