What are the primary applications of MDF in furniture?

MDF, or Medium Density Fiberboard, is a type of engineered wood made from wood fibers combined with wax and resin, then pressed into panels. Due to its smooth surface and consistency, MDF is often used in furniture for components like cabinet doors, shelves, and decorative panels. It’s especially favored where a smooth and even finish, free from knots and grain, is desired.
