What is PB and MDF??

PB is short for particle board, MDF is short for medium density fibreboard. They are cheap, fairly sturdy, real wood alternatives used for making furniture and other goods.

Particle board and Medium Density Fiberboard...it's basically saying it's not solid wood. But, I bought one and it's really nice looking. You would never know the difference.

IF the MDF is "tight-grained", I would think so. I have not used it with anything but solid wood.

I don't have the box anymore but I know it isn't real wood. Definitely would say it's mdf. It's really appears and feels solid though.

The unit is made of MDF (medium density fiberboard) which is denser and heavier than the cheaper common particleboard with a laminate on top

I just scrolled down to the bottom of this list of answers. There is an answer from Belle Plantation written there Titled "What Is The Shelf Life Of PB2"? so maybe this will help you. Good luck.

I have not personally used it on MDF but don't see any reason why it would not work as long as it is at least 3/4" thick.

No, it's more like a super strong cardboard. MDF is a medium density fiberboard, a man-made product. It's solid enough to act as a trunk but can't withstand much weight. You wouldn't want your kiddos climbing over it. The exterior finish is a very light veneer, almost like a reinforced cardboard so it scratches easily. Great if you don't have kiddos, otherwise I'd look for another option.

They are made of MDF, but are very sturdy. For the price, you won't find better.

Hi George - It is both, MDF is both wood and glue or plastic. It is MDF with black Tolex cloth over it.Sound good with plenty of juice.

I contacted Bugera directly to answer this.They confirm it's MDF. I agree with some others; it does seem like it's braced.

It is MDF. The table is pretty sturdy- holds my machine fine. The wheel casters are pretty flimsy though, I may replace mine with something stronger.

Yes, the drawers appear to be MDF. I think the quality is fine for the money, but this piece likely won't last 20 years. We've been pleased with it. It fits our space well and is holding up fine.

I would guess it is MDF with oak overlay, but couldn't tell you for sure without chipping away it. Very sturdy construction either way.

It is made of MDF wood: (from Wikipedia)Medium-density fibreboard (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 panels by applying high temperature and pressure.[1] MDF is generally denser than plywood. It is made up of separated fibres, but can be used as a building material similar in application to plywood. It is stronger and much more dense than particle board.[2]

MDF with thin wood veneer. I know because I drilled holes and cardboard came out.

The edges are the same material, but the center is a much thinner material from the rest the MDF. But it does have the same veneer/finish. So it can be used somewhere the back would be visible. I use this as a printer table. Drilled a hole through the thin back panel for cables for the modem and router.
