Inexpensive manufactured wood furniture is commonly referred to by names such as particleboard, chipboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), or engineered wood. These budget-friendly materials are produced by binding wood shavings, sawdust, or wood fibers together with synthetic resins under high heat and pressure, then finishing the surfaces with thin decorative paper laminates or wood-grain vinyl veneers to simulate natural timber aesthetics at a fraction of the cost.
