Our dining room and bedroom are Ohio Amish mission in cherry. The living room is mostly oak Stickley mission. We like mission style.
Oh, and the family room is also mission, from Amazon. ;-)
The point I was making is that it is not always easy to judge quality. To some, there is absolutely nothing wrong with mdf. I think it is likely that most furniture buyers don't even know what mdf is (let alone, any of the "fine print" in the food they eat!).
Everything has its place. MDF, because of high damping, is a preferred material for making speaker enclosures for example.
It's not "damping" rather mass/density and more importantly, consistency. Damping is done by the case's shape/features and the speaker.
