3. A load of up to 250 pounds is applied against the inside of a KraftMaid cabinet front to ensure reliable front joints
4. A 3 pound steel ball is "drop tested" against KraftMaid shelves, cabinet bottoms and drawer bottoms to ensure cabinets will withstand dropping of cans and other items.
5. KraftMaid cabinets are impact tested by striking the center of a closed and open door with a 10 pound sand bag.
