Femuse,

I think it really depends on the overall construction. I'm not familiar with the newer A/S cabinets, but I do build furniture on the side. If the bottom of your cabinet is 1/4" thick and sits in a full dado running around the bottom of the cabinet sides as opposed to being stapled to the bottom, then you will probably be OK. If the bottom is 1/8" luann paneling, you might want to keep weight while traveling to 5-7#. You still need to be concerned from a longevity standpoint since the cabinet sides are particle board. If they do happen to crumble apart over time, its a simple matter to replace with a higher quality product (ie. solid wood). Any cabinet maker can make replacements for you and attach your original cabinet faces to those.


Hope this helps!
