Veneer vs paint for MDF cabinets — first timer

The Listener Question

First "nice looking" build. Veneer scares me (glue, seams) but paint on MDF means a lot of priming/sanding to kill the fuzz. Which is more forgiving for a beginner?

Paint is more forgiving but more labour. Iron-on veneer is easier than you think — practice on a scrap first.
