Q: I live in a 1950’s ranch with knotty pine cabinetry. We just got new dishes and they’re much heavier than our old dishes. It got me wondering — how much weight can these old cabinets hold? Is there a rule of thumb? The cabinets are one long unit with three shelves and a wooden back.

Q: I recently received a gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond. I’d like to buy a good-quality knife set and block with it, but I’m having trouble determining what brand and style would be the highest quality at a good value. I’m hoping to find one for $100 or less, but definitely no more than $150. Help!
