particleboards
Cheap furniture material
Particleboards are engineered wood products made by compressing wood chips, sawdust, and resin into flat sheets.
Less expensive than solid wood or plywood, particleboard serves as a common material for inexpensive furniture, shelving, and subflooring.
It holds screws poorly compared to solid wood and swells when exposed to moisture, which limits its applications.
The singular particleboard can refer to the material generally or to individual sheets.
