Why are particle board controversial?

Solid wood particle board is often ridiculed in China, especially in rural areas. Some are cheap and considered garbage, but not all. First-line brands still use it due to its stability and ease of processing and transportation. Formaldehyde content within standard range has no effect. Environmental standards vary by country, but domestic inspection uses sampling. Many cheap boards use waste materials from construction sites. The world-famous Egger board uses crushed main stems of trees. Solid wood and mixed oil paint products can deform and crack at different temperatures, while particle boards are more stable and easier to transport. The quality of the board depends on the marketing of the business, not the board itself.
