Should I choose multi-layer board or solid wood board for furniture?

Each type of board has its own advantages and disadvantages and scope of application. Is multi-layer board or solid wood board better for furniture? Multi-layer board is produced by applying glue and pressing wood veneers. The veneers are seamed or overlapped with each other, and each layer of veneer is arranged vertically and horizontally. Finally, it is sanded, formed, and veneered to produce the multi-layer board.

Solid wood boards are made from whole logs and are generally categorized by wood type, such as pine boards. There are no specific standard specifications for solid wood boards; the entire board is made from a single piece of solid wood.

Characteristics vs. Characteristics of Multi-Plywood: Due to its unique production process and construction, high-quality multi-plywood features stable dimensions and structure, resistance to deformation and cracking, low expansion coefficient, high board strength, excellent flatness, and ease of processing. Solid wood boards are durable, have a natural grain, and often possess the characteristic aroma of natural wood. They also have good moisture absorption and breathability, creating a premium and elegant appearance. Performance-wise, multi-plywood and solid wood offer similar features, making them comparable in this respect.

From an environmental perspective, multi-layer boards, made with soy protein formaldehyde-free glue, do not contain any harmful substances such as formaldehyde and benzene, making them naturally pollution-free. Pure solid wood boards, which do not use adhesives, are also environmentally friendly and harmless to the human body. Multi-layer boards are easy to process and offer a high cost-effectiveness, making them popular for furniture and interior decoration. Solid wood boards are less commonly used, firstly due to the high construction process requirements and secondly due to the high price of solid wood boards and limited wood resources. The use of solid wood boards for furniture and home decoration is typically reserved for high-end renovations. Generally, multi-layer boards, which are cost-effective and easy to construct, are the preferred choice for most people.
