Particle board or plywood — which one should I actually choose?

Don't just go by the names of particle board and plywood — look at where they are used. Particle board has a stable structure and high cost-effectiveness, and is very common for wardrobe cabinet bodies; plywood offers better moisture resistance and screw-holding strength, making it more reliable for balcony cabinet and kitchen cabinet bodies. For cabinet body boards, we offer particle board, plywood, eco board, and OSB; environmental grades include HENF, ENF, E0, FAS, and F4 star; edge banding can be PUR edge banding or laser edge banding. Taking a wardrobe as an example, in Beijing the basic configuration (E0 particle board + PET door panel) is 500–550 yuan/㎡, the mainstream configuration (ENF particle board + PET door panel) is 700–800 yuan/㎡, and the upgraded configuration (ENF eco board + PET door panel) is 950–1,100 yuan/㎡; in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou, 425–467.5 yuan/㎡, 595–680 yuan/㎡, and 807.5–935 yuan/㎡. The above are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quotation; actual projects need further calculation based on dimensions, design, materials, hardware, quantity, and site conditions.
