I see, yes, that has more than 5 plys, so it's not that stuff but I still see some voids and that's what concerns me. It isn't the void in and of itself that bothers me - It's the debris that can be in the void that's the problem. It will cause the cabinet to buzz, rendering it virtually unrepairable. Some have drilled into damaged wood from the hidden side (inside) and injected with epoxy to fill a buzzing void, but it's tough to do well because you're pressurizing the gap, which tends to prevent the glue from filling very well. On the other hand, if the wood is durable and doesn't develop a buzz, then everything is A-OK. It's mostly a problem on labor-intensive (expensive) cabinets, either because of build complexity or finish quality. You don't want to have to scrap a cabinet due to cheap lumber.
