Wardrobes are an essential piece of furniture in every household. With people's increasing demands for environmentally friendly furniture materials, the choice between solid wood particleboard and eco-friendly board is often a dilemma when customizing wardrobes.

First, let's compare the material composition of particleboard and eco-board.

Both types of boards are made from raw materials processed from virgin wood. Virgin wood also comes in different grades. Although the core of eco-boards is solid wood, the main material is still virgin wood, therefore it cannot be classified as high-grade wood. The core of eco-boards is basically various types of pine, and because the density of pine varies, the price of virgin wood changes with density. Solid wood particleboard, on the other hand, is a type of board developed and produced according to its specific application level. It boasts excellent visual appeal and sophisticated processing technology. By employing superior processing techniques, low-density virgin wood achieves or exceeds the usability of high-density boards. Board manufacturers generally maintain the density of solid wood particleboard between 0.65 and 0.69. In the board market, the most common types are those from Austria, Germany, and Northeast China.

Secondly, let's compare the processing techniques of particleboard and eco-friendly board.

Comparing the two processing techniques of the two types of boards, the processing technology and requirements for particleboard are much higher than those for eco-board. However, due to industrialized and standardized production, particleboard is cheaper. Therefore, price should not be the sole criterion for judging its quality. Particleboard is readily available in the board market, but its price is relatively high.

Finally, let's compare the environmental performance of particleboard and eco-friendly board.

The environmental performance of wood-based panels is not limited to formaldehyde. In European countries, environmental protection has been a top priority for a long time. Therefore, they have devoted considerable effort and time to furniture manufacturing. Since younger-grown solid wood has relatively weaker physical properties and stability, focusing on material research and development is crucial to continuously improving its physical properties and stability. This has led to the prosperity of the European engineered wood panel industry, with particleboard and plywood being the most common types. Therefore, from an environmental perspective, particleboard is the most suitable wood-based panel.
