Background is that the house was built in 1969. Appears that the kitchen cabinets are Birch, Honey colored. In a few places the finish has worn off. I need to sell the house and would like to make the cabinets look better with minimal work and cost. Looking for suggestions, hopefully based on experience.

TIA

Spruced up my kitchen a few years ago.

Cabinets tend to get a little greasy over the years. Clean them well and put on a coat of polyurethane. Chances are, the birch is birch plywood so sanding too much can removed the top layer. You may want to consider replacing the knobs and pulls with brighter ones..
