What is the best way to select only the cabinets in this picture?

The problem of course is the windowed cabinet doors.I tried messing with the levels and channels as per a tutorial but couldn't get the quick selection tool to work very well. Obviously I can just use the pen tool but I would bet there is an easier way.

Thanks

    No easier way than the pen tool for this.  You could try the Lasso tool with the Alt key, but if you get it a bit wrong, you have a problem.  With a path, you can edit a single point as easy as can be.

    I don't know why you would want to avoid using the pen tool for this; it's all straight lines, and the pen tool would get you the cleanest edges.

    it's more about learning the product, I was second-guessing my decision.

    Those windows were a real pain.
