Plywood, paint.

In combination? I recently (just today) had an unhappy bout assembling
some prefab furniture (lambinated particle board)--not laminated on all
sides.
It gave me shortness of breath, made me sweat a lot and even vomit. I'm
not sure whether the problem for me is the glue or chemicals in the
"wood", or
both. Admittedly, I'm "chemically sensitive", but I'm on the lookout for
materials that I can work with. I've heard of formaldehyde-free
alternatives, but they don't seem to be easy for the non-professional to
get hold of.

Can't help you with the pre-built stuff, but if you are looking for
formaldehyde-free MDF sheets (some sold by the trade name Medex), various
building suppliers sell it in whatever quantity you want from 1 sheet to
multiple pallets. Do a check on Hood Industries in your area, they carry
the stuff where I am at.
