Dec 17, 2018

In this episode, we talk with Deborah Armstrong, Senior Interior Designer with Brookfield Residential, and discuss which material you should use for cabinet doors in your new home: MDF (medium-density fiberboard) or wood. We explore what is MDF and compare with wood on costs, durability and staining. Finally, we talk about what are the best situations to use either.
