MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is an engineered wood product, manufactured by compressing softwood or hardwood fibres with wax and resin under high pressure and temperature. It is denser compared to particleboard and plywood and is used in both commercial and residential construction.

1. MDF doesn't contract due to temperature fluctuations like natural wood. The swelling that occurs in MDF due to exposure to moisture is also minimal. It is a dimensionally stable wood product.
2. Medium Density Fiberboard lacks grain, and it is easy to drill and cut without risking damage.
3. It has a smooth surface without kinks and knots.
4. MDF holds better to hinges and screws thanks to its high density.
5. It is environmentally friendly since it is manufactured from recycled wood products.
