Question: what is the difference between mdf and furniture board?
Answer: MDF, made from fine wood fiber, is primarily used in cabinetry, shelving, furniture and molding. ... Because it is so dense, it is very heavy, so not ideal for large, hung cabinets. Also a waste-wood product, particleboard is less expensive than MDF and made by hot-pressing sawdust (vs fiber) with resin adhesives.
