Here is the whole story in one glance.

The Materials
Know Your Materials
Five materials, rated simply. The green badges are the ones we build with.
Solid Wood
The strongest, most repairable — takes stain beautifully.
Plywood
Durable, moisture-resistant, holds screws firmly.
MDF
Stable and flat — great for painted panels, not boxes.
Particle Board
Cheap and light — weak and moisture-prone.
Thermofoil
Vinyl over MDF — peels and hates heat.
Overall Quality Score
Green bars are the materials we build with.
