You can sand and stain, seal sanded, or paint.
CeCe...Clean well, prime and paint. You can also purchase paint with primer already included. I would suggest removing all doors and drawers and would mark so they can be replace from exact cabinet they came from.
We painted our cabinets in our rental property and they've held up well. Here is a peek. http://alifeunfolding.com/blog-1/2018/8/25/updating-the-kitchen-in-our-rental-property?rq=kitchen
Painted or stained? If stained, prep well and use a gel stain.
