Hey Jason, I have done several slab door kitchens and I grit my teeth every time.? I personally won't do it unless the client agrees to MDF core material or they sign a release.? Even MDF core can warp slightly from tension in the veneer, depending on how thick the veneers are.? I always?use terms like "MDF is less likely to warp" etc... and try to never communicate that it "will not" warp. I did a series of tables and a large conference table for a local high end golf club a couple years ago.? I outsourced the finish to limit my liability.? They called me back a year later because the finish was peeling in places and the joints were gapping and swollen in different areas.? I was panicked.? I claimed it was a finish issue and the finish guy claimed it was a wood movement or construction issue.? The wood work?in this building was disintegrating in every place.? While there inspecting the table I happened to see a cleaning lady spraying Marvelosa cleaner on some other tables.? I took photographs.? In the end a client of mine who works for the Stickley furniture company had a friend of his in their lab look at the Marvelosa cleaner and the photos of the damage.? He determined that the damage was neither wood movement, construction, or finish related but the fact that they were spraying tile cleaner on the tables.? I told the client there was no warranty for the damage and braced for push back. They weren't happy but dropped the matter. I am sorry you are in this predicament.??
