Ironically I was going to address that issue but decided to drop it. That would be my biggest concern with laminate. At least with PVCX you could probably form a single sheet to fit inside of the back of the enclosure.

I should also add that laminates are said to be less durable than years past. Part of that is restrictions on the chemicals used, another is that kitchens are remodeled much more frequently than 30 years ago so there is no need to have them so durable.

It would be my last choice. I would probably put vinyl flooring ahead of laminate.

As you already seem to know, this really boils down to the look you want. I picture it light on the outside and fairly dark on the inside. But that's just me.
