Particle board is a type of wood product that is made from the byproduct of woodworking. Made by taking sawdust and compressing it with resin adhesives to make sheets of workable material.

This is a great match for:

• Those who prefer the denser version of plywood: Particle board is easy to work with and great on lower-end projects. It can be fancied up with some veneer and a thin laminate. Usually used for flat surfaces and decoration use.
• Those who prefer affordable and economical materials: Particle board is inexpensive and more resistant to shearing, bending, or weight load forces.
