Matt,
I just got though building a melamine outfeed table. (Still have to attach it to the saw. I also built my side table out of melamine. I had no problems with splitting with 3/4 melamine. I spaced my screws every 8-10 inches and 2-3 inches in from the end. All is well.
If the cabinet is fitting between two walls is it a possibility to screw through the sides of the cabinet and then cover the screws?
