blockboard

Particle board and blockboard are both wood-based materials used in furniture and construction. Particle board is made by compressing wood chips with adhesive, while blockboard is created by stacking thin layers of plywood with alternating grain directions. Blockboard is denser, more moisture-resistant, and better suited for heavy finishes, while particle board is lighter, easier to work with, and more prone to warping. Cost can vary depending on the specific type of each material. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so choosing between them depends on the intended use and desired properties.
