HDF vs. MDF vs. Butcher block wood: which surface desk worth it?
My gf and I are fighting over which desk surface to get, and feeling like I don't need to spend a lot of money on 'real wood'. Not sure if HDF or MDF is actually worth it - Butcher block wood: less risk if exposed to water, super durable. Cons: most expensive, obviously. - MDF: affordable and lightweight. Cons: swells with water, not as durable, and can dent/chip easily. - HDF: denser and more durable than MDF, smooth hard surface. Cons: heavier than the rest I searched Reddit but didn’t find much. If anyone’s tested these out or has DIY ideas, I’d really appreciate the help! submitted by /u/bananalord666 [link] [comments]
