Chinese particleboard is bad stuff, boys

In my experience particle board has better moisture resistance.

That can be a non-trivial issue in a kitchen or bathroom.

The International Building Code is cited by Industry as the best thing since freesh squoze oranges juice. It is in fact a nightmare for home buyers. Wait a while and examine the structure, you plunk down a quarter mill or more for. They are built to a junk standard out of junk. Particle board, from China, may be the least, of a home buyer's troubles. Friends bought a mini mansion, on a gold course, for a the better part of a million a year ago. The place is literally coming apart at the joints. No exaggeration. All of them, in the development, are in a similar state. They are a far cry from the hardwood homes pegged together, expected to last several lifetimes.

Those structures are to mansions as a Big Mac is to food.
