Here is how I fix cupboards that have swollen particleboard areas like cabinet doors. You can repair them if the edges have not expanded to the point of ruining the sides of the door.

How you fix a loose area on your cabinet is going to depend upon where the wood joints are that are in need of some glue.

Most of the cabinets that people purchase off of the shelves from Home Depot come without having solid backs on them. This of course depends upon the brand and style of cabinet that you are considering to purchase. I would suggest that you ask a sales person if the cupboards that you are looking at come equipped with solid backs on them. Most of the upper cabinetry should have solid pieces of wood in the back so that they can be hung on the wall. read Do Cabinets From Home Depot Come Without Backs
