This questions has been asked by many persons, now let's introduce MDF here.
MDF , the full name is Medium Density Fiberboard, that’s an inexpensive and durable option for many carpentry projects. Medium-density fiberboard is a versatile building material. It’s cost-effective and good for use on shelving, storage cabinets, and decorative projects. It also has a smooth surface, which is perfect for painting.
MDF is an engineered wood product made by breaking down hardwood or softwood residuals into wood fibres, often in a defibrator, combining it with wax and a resin binder, and forming it into panels by applying high temperature and pressure, it also can be called fiberboard, some high density ≥800，called HDF, but it only have density & thickness difference.

MDF uses recycled wood, which is environmentally-friendly.
Veneers can be attached to MDF to make it look like real wood.
MDF will not expand and contract in the heat and humidity like solid wood can.
MDF is easy to paint in a variety of colors and easier to shape than solid wood.
MDF doesn’t have knots that can make a piece hard to attach.
MDF is resistant to pests, such as termites, due to the chemicals used in its construction.
Disadvantages of MDF Wood
If MDF is chipped or cracked, you cannot repair or cover it easily.
MDF can swell if it touches water.
There’s no natural grain on MDF wood.
Small amounts of formaldehyde may be off-gassed during construction, and it’s less child-friendly than solid wood.

The melamine covered MDF core consists of wood fibres. That gives it a flat and smooth surface, dimensional stability, high density, and features that make it easy for processing. You can get it in different thickness, decorative finishes and designs to one or both sides.
It usually widely used for different applications.
Melamine-faced MDF sheets are utilised in a myriad of applications including making:
It is also worth noting that because of its dimensionally stable and smooth surface, melamine covered MDF is also utilised for laminate veneers or decorative wood.

Introduction
Medium density fiberwood (MDF) is a synthetic building material used in wooden constructions. Both softwood and hardwood are broken down into wood fibers in a defibrator which are then combined after treatment with resin and wax. These wood fibers are pressed at high temperatures and pressures to get MDF panels. With its introduction in the 1980s, MDF has been in existence for quite some time now. Its sturdiness and cost effectiveness have made it popular in constructions as well as manufacture of cabinets and cupboards. Along with its many advantages, MDF has its own disadvantages and here we shall discover the pros and cons of this relatively new building material over traditionally used wood.
Advantage of MDF Furniture
1.MDF is an economical choice. It's inexpensive to make so you will pay less for it in the store than for some solid wood pieces.
2.MDF uses recycled wood in its construction, thereby helping to save trees.
3.MDF is easy to paint in many different colours, whereas solid wood has a difficult time taking some colours.
A smooth material throughout, MDF does not have knots that can blemish the surface of a piece or make components difficult to attach.
4.The chemicals used in the construction of MDF make it poisonous to pests such as termites.
5.MDF will not expand and contract due to heat and humidity the way solid wood can.
6.Shaping MDF is easier than shaping solid wood, making it easier to do more elaborate designs.
Veneer can easily be attached to MDF to give it the look of genuine wood.
Disadvantages of MDF Furniture
1.As noted above, when MDF is being constructed, it may off-gas small amounts of formaldehyde, though this has largely dissipated by the end of the construction process. MDF which has been painted reduces any health risk still further.
2.MDF tends to be high maintenance - if you chip it or crack it, you cannot repair or cover the damage easily as you typically can with solid wood.
3.The chemicals used in making MDF make the material less child-friendly than other materials.
Direct exposure to water can cause MDF to swell.
4.There is no grain on MDF, as it is not a natural wood product. If this is an issue, however, it is easily remedied with veneer.
5.The glue present in MDF can make it hard to sink certain types of fasteners into the material.
What is the Characteristics and uses of low density fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, high density fiberboard?
Medium density board: the density is 550 kg - 880 kg / m3. Its main advantages are low price relative to logs, easy processing, uniform material, good physical properties, waterproof and moisture-proof after adding paraffin and other items. It is mainly used for furniture and building materials.
High density board: the density is more than 2880 kg / m3, its dimensional stability is good, easy to carry out surface decoration treatment. The internal structure is fine, which can be processed into various special-shaped edges, and it does not need to seal the edge directly, which can achieve better modeling effect. organization structure
It is suitable to replace natural wood as structural material, and is widely used in interior and exterior decoration, office high-grade furniture, audio, interior decoration of high-grade cars, as well as calculation
Anti static floor, wall panel, anti-theft door, wall panel, clapboard, etc. It is also a good material for packaging. In recent years, it has replaced the high-grade hardwood and directly processed into composite floor and laminate floor; It is also used in the goods protection frame in the process of transportation, as well as in the modern home decoration frame less painting, such as the national registered trademark visual life frame less painting is so applied, making the home life more environmentally friendly.
Low density board: low density board is below 550 kg / m3, the fiber of low density fiberboard is not as tight as high density board. General home decoration is MDF, low density board with less.
Many people wondering the difference between MDF vs solid wood. MDF is an abbreviation for Medium Density Fiberboard. People tend to look down on MDF and automatically assume solid wood is the better choice.
Of course, solid wood, like anything has its pros and cons. The benefits of solid wood: it’s strong, sturdy, and features a beautiful natural look to it with grain patterns. If you’re looking for something to last forever, solid wood is a great choice. Each species of wood is different and some have longer longevity than others, but people are drawn to it. We love to have the authenticity of solid wood, which I completely understand. The beauty of natural wood is unbeatable.
However, wood contracts or expands when it is exposed to changing heat and humidity. Unless your home is a controlled climate, cabinets made from wood can shrink or crack over time. Something most people don’t even think about is the possibility of bug infestation in your wood. It is vulnerable to pests which means it requires some maintenance.
I’ve had so many people turn away the minute they hear there is MDF in a product. Man-made products are not as popular as the natural material. But why no love for this product? MDF is a high grade, composite material. It is made from recycled wood fibers and resin. It is dried and pressed to produce dense, stable sheets. Because of this process, MDF does not warp or crack like wood. And since MDF is made from small particles, it doesn’t have noticeable grain patterns. This will result in a smoother finish on the cabinets. MDF is also less expensive, which is sometimes a big selling point for some people. Depending on budget, others are willing to spend the extra money to purchase the all wood cabinets.
