Disadvantages of Using MDF

06 Nov.,2023

 

Why did we choose not to use MDF?

We do not build our furniture with MDF. Our furniture features solid, sustainably grown, all natural wood.

Our solid walnut products (pictured above) are designed to enhance your dining experience with a beauty that can’t be matched by mass production laminates and built to last for a long time. We want our furniture to be something you can be proud of and keep within your family as you grow, celebrate, or move!

 

Disadvantages of Using MDF

When you consider making an investment in your dining experience, know that: 

    1. MDF is comparatively weaker than wood, and, therefore, has a shorter lifespan compared to wood. 

    2. MDF sheets can crack or split under extreme stress.

    3. MDF absorbs water more quickly than wood. 

    4. MDF contains

      VOC

      (volatile organic compounds), containing urea formaldehyde, that can cause irritation to the lungs and eyes.

    5. The wood laminate can become stained from condensation (form water rings) from beverage glasses and cups.

    6. The wood laminate can peel away from the MDF after just a few months.

 

Choose solid wood for beauty, durability and quality

If you’re shopping for a high-end product that is both durable and long-lasting, be sure it is solid wood. Look closely at the product components and fine print – a product may look like solid wood but be constructed of MDF, laminate and veneers.
