What does mdf look like?

A smooth wood, made with different kind of woods glued and tight packed together.


Why is MDF used?

MDF, or Medium Density Fiberboard, is made of compressed saw dust held together by resin. It is a very common material for mass-produced furniture because it is much cheaper than solid wood and sturdier than particle board. Because it is made from recycled wood and otherwise unusable wood scraps, it is also considered environmentally friendly.


What can mdf be used for?

MDF is a very cost affective material used as a solid wood alternative. MDF is defined as a medium-density fiberboard typically made from hard and softwood particles mixed with resin to create a solid form. Common uses can include furniture, countertop (substrate), cabinets. It is the go-to manufacturing product even for high-end, high quality products to keep the retail price down compared to a solid wood solution. It is strong and can be shaped, cut and formed in the same manner as a solid wood application. In many cases it is finished off with either a laminate product or real wood veneer. It is also a more sustainable way of offering a solid wood option with all the beauty and natural characteristics of solid wood when it's finished with a real wood veneer.
