The MFC or Particle board is made from a mixture of real wood particles and glues, such as resin, which are refined and bonded together through high-heat compression for better weight and strength. This material is harder to bend, and some glues may be water proof.

Each layer runs at different widths to make it the actual width and right angles to the next. All plywood components meet California CARB 2 requirements as well as ANSI/HPVA HP-1 standards.
