Engineered wood is made by combining wood fibre and sawdust along with binding agents to form a solid piece that looks and feels like wood. It usually does not have the natural appeal of solid wood or plywood, therefore it is usually covered by veneer or laminates that gives it an attractive appearance. This is more economical than any other wood.
Wood, whether solid or man-made, is treated and processed before making furniture out of it. These processes make the furniture more durable and sturdy. It improves its fire resistance, prevents wrapping and bending and makes it termite and borer resistant. Good quality wood is extreme-weather tested as well to make sure that you only get a wooden bed of superior quality.
