Is engineered wood the same as particle board?

No, no, no, and this is where a lot of shoppers get tomfooled. Engineered wood is an umbrella term, it includes plywood, which is real wood.

Veneers glued in alternating layers can also be very strong and stable, it also includes particle board and MDF, which are sawdust and glue mixed together.

Plywood in furniture is sometimes fine, especially in cabinetry backs and drawer bottoms.
Particle board and MDF in the main structure. That's a no-no, that's a problem.

When a salesperson says engineered wood, ask him what kind. If he can't tell you, walk away. Ask him where the origin of the wood is, where did it come from?
