Among the four common types of board materials, which one is more suitable for making panel furniture?

Panel furniture is becoming increasingly popular, and there are many different types of panel furniture. Some people like to buy panels to customize their homes to their tastes. So which artificial boards are most suitable for panel furniture? Particleboard is a type of particleboard. It is made from raw materials such as sawdust and small pieces, sprayed with glue and pressurized. Because its cross-section resembles a honeycomb, it is called particleboard.

Particleboard is one of the more common and inexpensive early furniture panels. Particleboard, when infused with a "moisture-proofing agent," is known as moisture-proof particleboard. Particleboard has a certain usage base in China and is often used in low-quality furniture, outdoor packaging, and other applications. However, due to the production process and raw materials, particleboard quality varies and is prone to contamination. Advantages of particleboard: its surface can be used as a veneer, providing uniform stress distribution and low cost. Disadvantages: it requires a large amount of glue, resulting in relatively low environmental performance; processing requires high-quality equipment, otherwise it may break. Blockboard, also known as core board, is a type of board constructed with wood planks arranged inside and bonded with a core board. It is used in cabinets and, when coated with melamine veneer paper, is known as eco-friendly board.

Advantages of blockboard: good nail holding power, high strength, wide applications, low processing equipment requirements, and minimal glue usage. Disadvantages: The core material can be easily cut corners, resulting in uneven horizontal and vertical stress. Density board (MDF) is a board made from wood or plant fibers. Due to varying fiber densities, the boards come in high, medium, and low densities. It can be used for furniture and door panels.

Advantages of density board: It can be used for shaping, has good toughness and is not prone to breaking. Disadvantages: It has poor moisture resistance, weak nail holding power, requires a large amount of glue, and has a low environmental performance. Multilayer board is made of solid wood veneer with adjacent layers arranged vertically and horizontally. It is manufactured through multiple processes such as sanding and hot pressing. It can be used in various furniture, decoration, and engineering projects.

Advantages of multi-layer boards (also known as "plywood"): small amount of glue used, high environmental protection index; solid wood used as raw materials; standard size, stable structure; good physical properties, strong nail holding force; not easy to crack, high surface flatness; easy to process and easy to shape.
