Which is better, panel furniture or solid wood furniture?

Neither is absolutely better; it depends on your budget and how you use it. Panel furniture wins on stability, variety of styles, and cost-effectiveness—particle board, plywood, and eco board are all options, with environmental grades ranging from E0 to HENF. Solid wood furniture has a better feel but is more expensive and prone to warping from humidity. Take wardrobes as an example: basic configuration E0 particle board with PET door panels is 500–550 yuan/㎡ in Beijing and 425–467.5 yuan/㎡ in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou; mainstream configuration ENF particle board with PET door panels is 700–800 yuan/㎡ in Beijing and 595–680 yuan/㎡ in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou; upgraded configuration ENF eco board with PET door panels is 950–1,100 yuan/㎡ in Beijing and 807.5–935 yuan/㎡ in Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou.
