Isn't solid wood better than particleboard?
Isn’t solid wood better than particleboard?
Although it might be a surprise, particleboard is superior to solid wood when it comes to the construction of cabinets and furniture. The problem with solid wood is that it is unstable, expanding, contracting and warping unpredictably depending on environmental factors such as humidity and temperature.
Particleboard, on the other hand, is very stable despite changes in temperature and humidity, allowing us to build you a cabinet that will remain square and function perfectly year round. For this reason, almost all of the “Real Wood Cabinetry” built today is constructed from particleboard with a wood veneer, using solid wood for certain areas such as doors, drawers, moldings, and counter tops.
