It is chipboard but seemingly more dense and in most places thicker than IKEA. All of the custom carpenter quotes were MDF. Fittingly also have a bewildering array of finishes/colours. I went with a white oak for the wood looking bits and primed for the rest that I then painted with F&B eggshell. Went on well.
Adjusting 60 cabinet hinges is not something I fancy doing again any time soon.

Thanks (and @Tenderloin)
What are the Fittingly cabinets made of? Do they seem solid?
I'd assumed stuff would be actual wood or potentially MDF but am a bit stumped by the offer of furniture board from the local guys (two options, both offering the same approach at near identical prices), which to my knowledge is basically chipboard with some kind of wipeable cover. Just worry it'll feel/look cheap. Yours look v. nice.
Edit:
Some stuff from one of our guys around the 3k mark

Main issue is - I'm shit at finishing projects (as the kitchen we started in January 2022 shows).
