Materials for modular furniture
Another factor that affects the price of modular furniture, whether it is an ordinary kitchen, corner or any other, is the materials used to make it. And here the choice is wide, starting from the base and ending with decorative ornaments.

- Chipboard;
- MDF;
- natural wood.

It also has good moisture resistance and is insensitive to temperature differences. But the main factor in its use in furniture production is the price.
Next, in order of increasing prices, material for the production of modular kitchens is MDF - a relatively young material. The technology of its production almost does not differ from the EAF, except for raw materials: for the production of the latter use small chips, and for MDF - wood dust. This material is more environmentally friendly compared to the previous one, so in some cases it is preferable. MDF tolerates moisture well and, like the chipboard, it is distinguished by its high strength.
