OBS looks more ‘real’. Cabinets are usually made of MDF or OBS in the UK. MDF has great dimensional stability but it is prone to swelling in humid environments, so it would have a veneer or coat of paint in a kitchen.
Plywood is also much more expensive in the UK relative to OBS. I know OBS is made in the UK, plywood is more likely to be imported.
But do you generally make kitchen cabinets out of OBS there? If not then I feel like the designers wasn’t going for post modern, they were aiming for it to look cheap and ugl
Kitchen cabinet are made with veneered OBS. That is purchased cut and veneered to size like flat packs.
It’s possible someone with a CNC machine built this kitchen to be as cheap as possible (without including the expense of the CNC). The CNC would allow the tight tolerances and very little tare out you would normally expect with OBS.
I don’t get the OBS choice because cabinets are usually made out of plywood which, like you said, would look way better
