All wood frequently describes furniture constructed using engineered wood, including plywood, particleboard or fiberboard. Fiberboard is created by breaking down wood chips into fibers and mixing these with an ultra-strong adhesive. When fused under intense heat and pressure, the resulting panel has consistent, uniform strength, is resistant to warping, cracking and splitting, and has no knots or other surface imperfections. Fiberboard is used in all categories of furniture, in many styles and price points.
