Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) is an engineered wood product made from wood fibers, wax, and resin. These materials are combined under heat and pressure to create a dense, smooth board. MDF is commonly used in furniture, cabinetry, and decorative moldings due to its versatility and ability to be easily shaped and painted. MDF is known for its uniform texture and strength, making it a popular choice for various applications. Unlike solid wood, it does not warp or crack easily, which enhances its durability. However, it is important to handle MDF with care, as it can release fine dust particles when cut or sanded, necessitating proper safety measures.
