What is Chipboard wood like?

Chipboard, also known as particle board, is an engineered wood product made from wood chips, sawmill shavings, and sawdust, which are bonded together with a resin under heat and pressure. It is typically denser and more uniform than solid wood, making it a cost-effective option for furniture and cabinetry. However, chipboard is less durable and more susceptible to moisture damage compared to solid wood, so it is often used in applications where it won't be exposed to high humidity. Its smooth surface can be easily veneered or laminated, allowing for various finishes.
