Does ash make nice furniture and cabinets? Is that considered a "cheap" wood to build with?

We are adding a built-in entertainment center and new kitchen cabinets to our house and one guy wants to use ash, but I have no experience with it.

Answers:
I have kitchen cabinets made of ash they look great. It is a good hardwood that will naturally resist dings and blemishes. Ash has its own grain that is different from oak, maple, cherry and others, maybe a little bolder.

Ash is not significantly cheaper to work with than other hardwoods, but it's not significanly more expensive either. It is a fine choice for cabinets and furniture.

Other answers:
Ash looks very similar to oak. It's a very nice wood to use.
