T-Molding along the back edge of a cabinet: Yay or Nay?

(1/2) > >>

DaOld Man:
How many of you guys run T-molding along the edge thats most likely going to be facing the wall?

Rando:
Mine does, but that's cause I used a UAII cabinet so the slots were pre-cut, the T-Molding was plentifully provided, and the back of the cabinet is noticably NOT flat against the wall, so the back edges are quite visible.

Donkbaca:
I did, it looks better that way, and the molding is dirt cheap

BobA:
If I had a flat edge on the back of my cab I would slot it for t-molding.  As it is all the bartops that I make are from stock that has a bull node edge on one side.   I face it towards the back so I have a straight edge that is already finished.

Edit: It only costs about $6.   :D

eds1275:
Yeah, considering how cheap t-molding is I guess the question is why not?Even if the back is against a wall, imagine you accidentally bump the wall. The hard edge of mdf/plywood is going to do more damage to the wall than much softer plastic and t-molding offers a little protection for your laminate/gruelling paintjob at teh edges. I think it's really worth it.
