I’m getting cold feet about my shaker cabinet order that will be placed tomorrow. My house is a colonial, so shaker makes sense. What I wanted was shaker uppers and slab lowers, because all I can think about are the agonies of cleaning shaker lowers. However, due to major unforeseen expenses, my cabinet budget has been slashed. My best quality-for-value option with the fastest lead time (we are currently displaced from the house) doesn’t have slab options.

Will I regret going with shaker lowers if it sets me up for years of struggling to keep them clean from drips and spills? Is there some sort of hack to make cleaning shakers easier? Any and all advice appreciated.
