When you hear "Solid wood", how do you interpret that? (lemmy.world)

Do you include things like particle board, MDF, plywood etc? Is there a line? And if so, what is it for you?

Something is "solid wood" if it's made from pieces of solid-sawn lumber. If it's built up from rotary-peeled veneers, woodchips, sawdust, or pulp, then it is not solid wood.
