Plywood vs. particleboard,
which cabinet box lasts.
| Plywood | Particleboard | |
|---|---|---|
| Screw holding | Strong, also after re-screwing | Weak, holes strip easily |
| Water resistance | Better – edges don't swell as fast | Swells once the edge gets wet |
| Weight | Lighter | Heavier |
| Cost | Higher | Lowest |
For rentals, multifamily and anything that gets moved, repaired or exposed to water under the sink, plywood boxes pay for themselves.
